I am looking for articles which report on the perfomance of task migration
schemes in distributed operating systems.  I am not interested in the load
balancing aspects, only on a performance comparison between schemes which
migrate tasks once they have been started and those which do not.  I was
told that such a study was done using DEMOS/MP, but I am unable to find a
reference which reports it.  I have the 1983 SOSP article and one on DEMOS
in Software, Practice and Experience, April 1987, but no comparison of the
type I am after was reported.

Do you know of any (reasonably available) articles which do make this
comparison?
