  • representing some or all data on said first and second processors with data structures consisting of immutable blocks, wherein contents of said immutable blocks can include data and/or pointers to said immutable blocks;

    transmitting transfer data from said first processor to said second processor, wherein said transfer data is represented as one or more of said data structures consisting of immutable blocks, and wherein said immutable blocks of said one or more data structures are a set of transfer blocks;

    determining a first set of said transfer blocks that have not been previously defined on said second processor;

    determining a second set of said transfer blocks that have been previously defined on said second processor;

    wherein said transmitting transfer data comprises transmitting contents of said first set of transfer blocks to said second processor;
