Summary:A method for metadata management for scalable processes, involving creating a process by a first home processor, wherein the process is associated with a process identification (ID), storing the processor ID and information identifying the first home processor in a global process look-up data structure (GPLD), requesting metadata associated with the process, searching the GPLD to obtain the first home processor of the process using the process ID, and retrieving the metadata associated with the process from the first home processor.
