You might want to look at Condor <http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor>,
which does something similar; processes are allowed to be checkpointed
and "migrated" to another machine. Sounds similar to what you
describe above. It's fairly useful for high-throughput computing
(making use of all/any idle CPU cycles).
