Process migration is when processes in computer clusters are able to move from machine to machine. Process migration is implemented in, among others, OpenMosix. Process migration alternate definition is coming from IC design and engineering. Process migration or Layout migration is a design flow to change and shrink an existing IC layout to a new process technology node.

Linux kernel
The Linux kernel is the operating system kernel used by the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems. It is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software. The Linux kernel is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2), and is developed by contributors worldwide. Day-to-day development discussions take place on the Linux kernel mailing list.

Multi-core processor
A multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual processors (called "cores"), which are the units that read and execute program instructions. The instructions are ordinary CPU instructions such as add, move data, and branch, but the multiple cores can run multiple instructions at the same time, increasing overall speed for programs amenable to parallel computing.

Load balancing (computing)
Load balancing is a computer networking methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers or a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy.

Symmetry
Symmetry (from Greek ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ symmetría "measure together") generally conveys two primary meanings. The first is an imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance; such that it reflects beauty or perfection. The second meaning is a precise and well-defined concept of balance or "patterned self-similarity" that can be demonstrated or proved according to the rules of a formal system: by geometry, through physics or otherwise.
