In this paper, the authors describe the evolution of MultiRPC, a parallel remote procedure call mechanism implemented in Unix. Parallelism is obtained from the concurrency of processing on servers and from the overlapping of retransmissions and timeouts. Each of the parallel calls retains the semantics and functionality of our standard remote procedure calls. The underlying communication medium need not support multicast of broadcast transmissions. The authors derive an analytic model of the system and validate it. The authors' experimental observations demonstrate the feasibility of using MultiRPC to contact up to 100 servers in parallel.
