Remote Procedure Call A command given by one computer to a second computer over a network to execute a defined system call, such as in an NFS session
Remote procedure call Much as its name suggests, this approach to concurrency works as follows: A process requests another process to do work by executing a remote procedure call, using a well-defined interface for the service to be performed The processor executing the RPC starts a process to service the request, which performs the desired work, returns the result, and terminates Remote procedure call is a popular model for implementing distributed client-server computing environments It is an alternative to interprocess communication (IPC) which allows remote systems to execute a set of procedures to share information
(remote procedure call) (n ) The process of executing an apparently normal procedure call (or method invocation) by sending network packets to a remote host
Remote Procedure Call Executing what looks like a normal procedure call (or method invocation) by sending network packets to some remote host
Remote Procedure Calls, the concept of executing a function on another process or machine SOAP is one method of implementing RPC, but it can be used for other purposes
Remote Procedure Call A programming interface that allows one program to use the services of another program in a remote machine The calling programming sends a message and data to the remote program, which is executed, and results are passed back to the calling program
Remote Procedure Call - RPC is a method of making network access to resources transparent to the application programmer by supplying a "stub" routine that is called in the same way as a regular procedure call The stub actually performs the call across the network to another computer (5)
A mechanism that extends the concept of a local procedure call, to a fully distributed computing environment
a distributed computing protocol by which a program on a client computer sends arguments to a program on a server The server then executes the program, and sends the results to the client program
Remote Procedure Call DCE technology for distributed communications and data transfer
Remote Procedure Call A popular paradigm for implementing the client-server model of distributed computing A request is sent to a remote system to execute a designated procedure, using arguments supplied, and the result returned to the caller There are many variations and subtleties, resulting in a variety of different RPC protocols
Remote Procedure Call RPC is a programming model in which tasks communicate in a client-server relationship using what look like normal procedure calls When the client task calls an RPC procedure, the underlying software creates and sends a message to the server task The software in the server task then interprets the message, services the request, and places the return values, if any, into another message which is sent back to the client In typical RPC communications, the client task waits for a reply from the server before proceeding
Mechanism that extends the notion of local procedure call to a fully distributed computing environment, enabling an application to be distributed among multiple systems in a way that is highly transparent to the application-level code
Remote Procedure Call A generic term used to describe a method by which one program can invoke another program Specific implementations of RPC would included ONC RPC and DCE RPC
Remote Procedure Call A method by which applications running concurrently in different systems can communicate over a network Allows the applications to share memory space, synchronize tasks and send messages to one another
Remote Procedure Call RPC routines allow C programs to make procedure calls on other machines across the network When people talk about RPC they most often mean the Sun RPC variant
Remote-Procedure Call Technological foundation of client-server computing RPCs are procedure calls that are built or specified by clients and executed on servers, with the results returned over the network to the clients See also client/server computing
Remote Procedure Call An external form of communication that allows objects to communicate with each other over the network The RPC programming interface is built into each server's Client and Server subsystems to provide external communication among servers
Remote Procedure Call A mechanism defined by Sun Microsystems that provides a standard for initiating and controlling processes on remote or distributed computer systems
