Stack of a thread

[anuya.kulkarni]

Hello,

I have a doubt regarding stack of a thread.
I want to know how it is organized ?

Say I have a function with 1 input parameter and 
1 local veriable. If I know the stack base pointer, 
can I predict the location of the input parameter and 
local variable. 

I have a POSIX thread with stack base pointer and size of
stack specified by me. RedHat Linux 7.2 (Kernel 2.4.7-10)

Also, if I want to copy the snapshot of stack of this thread and 
map to some memory region on another machine and give this address 
of this region as stack base for the same thread function to run on
other 
machine, will it work as if there is no migration from one machine to 
other ? Here I assume that transfer of stack across machines and
privilages are  
not the issues.
