( Use distributed computing in the Windows NT Client-Server Environment ( Use RPC to solve problems in a fraction of the time it would take a single machine. This book provides a step-by-step guide to developing Remote Procdure Calls. The author explains standards and requirements of RPC, how RPC is related to other parts of Windows, and how to use RPC with parallel processors, multiprocessors, and transputers. Distributed computing on a network allows more efficient use of resources, but requires more complex systems. "RPC for NT" shows how to harness the power of distributed computing on a PC network with a Windows NT server. NT servers on a network can also call procedures on any other server. This book shows precisely how to do it.

Audience: Software engineers needing to add Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) features in software development. Windows NT allows any machine on a network to call remote procedures. A single server on a network running Windows NT can provide for any other machine on the net to call remote procedures, no matter whether those machines are running DOS, DOS/Windows, or Windows NT. Corporate information services will be especially pressured for RPC in the future.
