Abstract

Taking part in the Early Participation Program of OSF/DCE on IBM RS/6000 workstations, we have examined the RPC of DCE between workstation and compute server under aspects of performance, capability and functionality for scientific-technical applications programmed in Fortran, under user-account. A brief introduction shows the demands expected from a RPC tool taking a scientific-technical point of view.
