  • Delivery of client remote procedure calls to a server via a request queue utilizing priority and time-out
    Patent number: 5946498
    Abstract: A computer system includes at least a server procedure and a client processor. The client processor includes plural applications which issue requests for execution of server procedures. A queue is present in the client processor and lists the requests. The client processor also includes plural input/output procedures which enable dispatch of requests to the server procedure. The client processor operates in conjunction with the I/O procedures, removes a request from the queue, and dispatches the request to the server procedure. The processor responds to occurrence of a time-out, with no response being received from the server procedure, to place the current request at the beginning of the queue so as to enable the I/O procedure to service a further request from the queue.
