  abstract =     "Computation migration is a technique that is based on
                 compile-time program transformation, for accessing
                 remote data in a distributed-memory parallel system. In
                 contrast with RPC-style access, where the access is
                 performed remotely, and with data migration, where the
                 data is moved so that it is local, computation
                 migration moves put of the current thread to the
                 processor where the data resides. The access is
                 performed at the remote processor, and the migrated
                 thread portion continues to run on that same processor;
                 this makes subsequent accesses in the thread portion
                 local. The authors describe an implementation of
                 computation migration that consists of two parts: a
                 implementation that migrates single activation frames,
                 and a high-level language annotation that allows a
                 programmer to express when migration is desired. They
                 performed experiments using two applications; these
                 experiments demonstrate that computation migration is a
                 valuable alternative to RPC and data migration.",
