CSCI 53700 { Fall 2016
Assignment Number 3
Due Date: November 16, 2016
This assignment is intended to emphasize the RPC principles. You are to develop a simple distributed computing environment consisting of a multiple Clients and a Server. The system is to be
implemented in C or C++ and using the rpcgen utility discussed in the class.
• Server: The Server will be multi-threaded and support the following functions:
1. Date and Time { Returns the Current date and time.
2. Merge { Accepts a two lists and returns a merged list.
3. ReverseEcho { Returns whatever a Client sends as an input in the reverse order.
4. List { Returns a list of all files in the current directory.
5. Add { Accepts two integer matrices and returns their sum.
• Clients: There will be multiple clients and they will concurrently invoke various functions on the
server.
The Server and the Clients will be deployed on these following machines:

Please employ good software engineering principles in your design and implementation. Provide
adequate documentation of your programs. Create a makefile for your program. Submit all the source
files (including the readme, input/output and make files) by using submitd command on Tesla. Also
turn-in a hardcopy of your report, before the beginning of the class on the due date, that briefly
discusses your design and its pros and cons.
