Abstract

Migrating a process from a source system with a source operating system to a target system with a target operating system is provided, where the source and target systems or source and target operating system are incompatible. The migrating includes: employing an emulator at the target system to execute code associated with the process being migrated, the emulator performing: translating of system calls and runtime library calls for the source operating system to calls of the target operating system using a system call translator and runtime library translator; translating source application code associated with the process into binary target application code executable on the target system, using a compiler where the source application code has not been translated; and executing the translated binary target application code on the target system, and discontinuing emulation of the process at the target system once the executing begins.
