-After a fork() system call, any thread of the the P process can execute an exec() system call. This system call forces the P process to execute a new application, while keeping the same PID, the same parent process, all open file descriptors, and the environment variables. The existing P process descriptors (both the reference and the copies)  and all associated threads will be destroyed. A new process descriptor and a new main thread descriptor are created in the reference cluster, and initialized from values found in the existing process descriptor, and from values contained in the .elf file defining the new application. The calling thread  can run in any cluster. If the reference cluster Z for process P is different from the calling thread cluster X, the calling thread must use a RPC to ask the reference cluster Z to do the work.

 At the end of the exec() system call, the cluster Z is both the owner and the reference cluster for process C, that contains one single thread in cluster Z.

  * If the target cluster M does not contain a copy of the P process descriptor, the kernel M creates a process descriptor copy from the reference P process descriptor, using a remote_memcpy(), and using the cluster_get_reference_process_from_pid() to get the extended pointer on reference cluster. It allocates memory for the associated structures GPT(M,P), VSL(M,P), FDT(M,P).  These structures being used as read-only caches will be dynamically filled by the page faults. This new process descriptor is registered in the COPIES_LIST and in the LOCAL_LIST.
  * When the local process descriptor is set, the kernel M select the core that will execute the new thread, allocates a TRDID to this thread, creates the thread descritor, and registers it in the local process descriptor, and in the selected core scheduler.
