6.033 Spring 2005: Preparation for Lecture 5

Read chapter 4. This lecture will describe the client-server abstraction, which is a way to achieve fault isolation. In terms of the basic abstractions, it is a form of the interpreter abstraction. To implement the client-server abstraction, we will use a form of the communication paths abstraction, the remote procedure call (RPC).
