-Any thread T of any process P, running in any cluster K, can create a new thread NT in any cluster M. This creation is driven by the pthread_create() system call. The target M cluster is called the host cluster. If the M cluster does not contain a process descriptor copy for process P (because the NT thread is the first thread of process P in cluster M), a new process descriptor must be created in cluster M. 
+Any thread T of any process P, running in any cluster K, can create a new thread NT in any cluster M. This creation is driven by the ''pthread_create'' system call. The target M cluster is called the host cluster. If the M cluster does not contain a process descriptor copy for process P (because the NT thread is the first thread of process P in cluster M), a new process descriptor must be created in cluster M. 
  * The target cluster M can be specified by the user application, using the CXY field of the pthread_attr_t argument. If the CXY is not defined by the user, the target cluster M is selected by the kernel K, using the DQDT.
- * The Target core in cluster M can be specified by the user application, using the CORE_LID field of the pthread_attr_t argument. If the CORE_LID is not defined by the userp^m^ù$, the target core is selected by the target kernel M.

-=== 4.1) phase 1 ===
+If the target cluster M is different from the client cluster, the cluster K send a RPC_THREAD_USER_CREATE request to cluster M. The argument is a complete structure pthread_attr_t (defined in the ''thread.h'' file in ALMOS-MK), containing the PID, the function to execute and its arguments, and optionally, the target cluster and target core. This RPC should return the thread TRDID. The detailed scenario is the following:

This RPC should return a the thread TRDID.

-=== 4.2) phase 2 ===
-
-To execute this RPC, the kernel M will make a local copy of the pthread_attr_t structure, and execute the following steps:
  1. The kernel M checks if it contains a copy of the P process descriptor.
- 1. If not, 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 PG_TBL(M,P), VSEG_LIST(M,P), FD_TBL(M,P). It initializes (partially) these structures by using remote_memcpy() from the reference cluster. The PG_TBL structure will be filled by the page faults.
+ 1. If not, 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). It initializes (partially) these structures by using remote_memcpy() from the reference cluster. The PG_TBL structure will be filled by the page faults.
  1. The kernel M register this new process descriptor in the COPIES_LIST and LOCAL_LIST.
  1. When the local process descriptor is set, the kernel M select the core that will execute the thread, allocates a TRDID to this thread, and creates the thread descriptor for NT.
