Is there a way to move a running process from one computer to another
and resume the execution from where the original process was
intrrupted?
This is impossible in general unless the process itself was designed
from the beginning to support such a feature. The operating system
does not know, and cannot be told, the entire logical state of the
process, which may include closed files as well as open ones, other
co-operating processes on the same machine, network connections
to remote systems where the remote end need not co-operate, etc.
Search for "process migration" and "checkpoint restart".
