METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING SERVER ACCESS IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

In a distributed computing environment (DCE), a scheduler process executes on every DCE processor. The schedulers mediate all remote procedure calls (RPCs) made by client processes to server processes using a scheduler and/or namespace accessible by the DCE processor. The scheduler database stores interfaces of single-thread servers, and the namespace stores interfaces of multi-thread servers. The scheduler, in response to receiving an identity of an interface from a client process searching the scheduler database and namespace to locate the interface. Upon locating the interface, the interface is provided to the client process so that client and server processes can be bound.
