Implementing remote procedure calls

Open access
Birrell, Andrew D., Nelson, Bruce Jay·1984·ACM Transactions on Computer Systems

Abstract

Remote procedure calls (RPC) appear to be a useful paradig m for providing communication across a network between programs written in a high-level language.This paper describes a package providing a remote procedure call facility, the options that face the designer of such a package, and the decisions ~we made.We describe the overall structure of our RPC mechanism, our facilities for binding RPC clients, the transport level communication protocol, and some performance measurements.We include descriptioro~ of some optimizations used to achieve high performance and to minimize the load on server machines that have many clients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
