Abstract

Distributed computing applications are collections of processes allocated across a network that cooperate to accomplish common goals. The applications require the support of a distributed computing runtime environment that provides services to help manage process concurrency and interprocess communication. This support helps to hide much of the inherent complexity of distributed environments via industry standard interfaces and permits developers to create more portable applications. The resource requirements of the runtime services can be significant and may impact application performance and system throughput. This paper describes work done to study the potential benefits of redesigning some aspects of the DCE RPC and its current implementation on a specific platform.
