Well I had in mind the grid concept, which I believe implies the
distribution of code to multiple nodes and then the ability to execute
on them (I suppose that includes re-sending data to already distributed
instances).

I imagine that a proper grid would allow reloading of modules as the
overall application requires, but that would be relatively trivial if we
could capture 'execution state'.

Moving a running thread to another process would be fairly hard I
imagine, but I guess that's what we want for load balancing etc.
