  • Method and System for Event-Based Remote Procedure Call Implementation in a Distributed Computing System
    Publication number: 20120042327
    Abstract: A system and method for managing a remote procedure call (RPC) system in a distributed system is disclosed. The distributed computing system is typically implemented as a client server model. A server implements several procedures and offers these procedures as services to clients in the distributed computing system. A server handles multiple RPC requests from multiple clients. A client sends an RPC request to a server; the server processes the requested procedure, and sends a reply back to the client.

  • Method and system for performing search on a client device
    Publication number: 20090024573
    Abstract: Techniques for facilitating efficient local search are disclosed. According to one aspect of the techniques, a server analyzes a hierarchical directory of data stored on a data storage server in order to generate a binary data image including selected data from the directory. The binary data image is then communicated to client devices in service such that all subsequent searches can be conducted against the binary data image in a client device.
