6.033 Spring 2008: Preparation for Lecture 4

Even though it is a Tuesday today, MIT follows a Monday schedule. Read chapter 4.A-C. 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).
