{{task|Networking and Web Interaction}}
 
Write two programs (or one program with two modes) which run on networked computers, and send some messages between them.
Given two computers on a network, send messages between them. The protocol used may be language-specific or not, and should be suitable for general distributed programming.
 
The protocol used may be language-specific or not, and should be '''suitable for general distributed programming'''; that is, the ''protocol'' should be generic (not designed just for the particular example application), readily capable of handling the independent communications of many different components of a single application, and the transferring of arbitrary data structures natural for the language.
 
This task is intended to demonstrate high-level communication facilities beyond just creating [[sockets]].

Ada defines facilities for distributed systems in its standard (Annex E, also called DSA).
 
This example works with PolyORB and the GNAT GPL 2010 compiler from AdaCore.

Using PVM [http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html]
==Socket==
This program is in a sense both a server and a client, depending on if its task is spawned with a command-line argument: if yes, it spawns another task of the same executible on the parallel virtual machine and waits for it to transmit data; if no, it transmits data and is done.

Start the program with "server" parameter to start the server, and "client" to start the client. The client will send data to the server and receive a response. The server will wait for data, display the data received, and send a response.

=={{header|Factor}}==
The protocol is the one provided by Factor (concurrency.distributed, concurrency.messaging)
 
Example summary:
 
- A server node is listening for messages made of natural data types and structures, and simply prettyprint them.
 
- A client node is sending such data structure: an array of one string and one hashtable (with one key/value pair).
 
===Server===
<syntaxhighlight lang="factor">USING: concurrency.distributed concurrency.messaging threads io.sockets io.servers ;
QUALIFIED: concurrency.messaging
: prettyprint-message ( -- ) concurrency.messaging:receive . flush prettyprint-message ;
[ prettyprint-message ] "logger" spawn dup name>> register-remote-thread
"127.0.0.1" 9000 <inet4> <node-server> start-server</syntaxhighlight>
 
Note: we are using QUALIFIED: with the concurrency.messaging vocabulary because the "receive" word is defined in io.sockets vocabulary too. If someone have a cleaner way to handle this.
 
===Client===
<syntaxhighlight lang="factor">USING: concurrency.distributed io.sockets ;
QUALIFIED: concurrency.messaging
{ "Hello Remote Factor!" H{ { "key1" "value1" } } }
"127.0.0.1" 9000 <inet4> "logger" <remote-thread> concurrency.messaging:send</syntaxhighlight>
 
How to Run:
 
- Copy/Paste the server code in an instance of Factor Listener
 
- Copy/Paste the client code in another instance of Factor Listener.
 
The server node should prettyprint the data structure send by the client: { "Hello Remote Factor!" H{ { "key1" "value1" } } }

===Standard library net/rpc===
Package net/rpc in the Go standard library serializes data with the Go-native "gob" type. The example here sends only a single floating point number, but the package will send any user-defined data type, including of course structs with multiple fields.

===gRPC===
See http://www.grpc.io/
 
The default serialization for gRPC is "protocol buffers." gRPC uses a .proto file to define an interface for the client and server. The .proto has its own syntax, independent of client and server implementation languages. Server and client programs here are Go however.

Julia was designed with distributed conmputing. in particular cluster computing, as a primary use target.
If a group of CPUs, including multiple cores on a single machine or a cluster running with paswordless ssh login, is used,
the following can be set up as an example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="julia"># From Julia 1.0's online docs. File countheads.jl available to all machines:
 
function count_heads(n)
c::Int = 0
for i = 1:n
c += rand(Bool)
end
c
end</syntaxhighlight>
We then run the following on the primary client:
<syntaxhighlight lang="julia">
using Distributed
@everywhere include_string(Main, $(read("count_heads.jl", String)), "count_heads.jl")
 
a = @spawn count_heads(100000000) # runs on an available processor
b = @spawn count_heads(100000000) # runs on another available processor

In another terminal window, start up another LFE REPL and ender the following code:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
> (defun get-server-name ()
(list_to_atom (++ "exampleserver@" (element 2 (inet:gethostname)))))
 
> (defun send (data)
(net_kernel:start '(exampleclient shortnames))
(erlang:set_cookie (node) 'rosettaexample)
(io:format "connecting to ~p~n" `(,(get-server-name)))
(! `#(serverref ,(get-server-name)) `#(echo ,(self) ,data))
(receive
(`#(hello ,data)
(io:format "Received ~p~n" `(,data)))
(x
(io:format "Unexpected pattern: ~p~n" (list x))))
'ok)
</syntaxhighlight>
 
To use this code, simply start the server in the server terminal:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
> (start)
exampleserver@yourhostname ready
ok
(exampleserver@yourhostname)>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Send some messages from the client terminal:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
> (send "hi there")
connecting to exampleserver@yourhostname
Received "hi there"
ok
(exampleclient@yourhostname)> (send 42)
connecting to exampleserver@yourhostname
Received 42
ok
(exampleclient@yourhostname)> (send #(key value))
connecting to exampleserver@yourhostname
Received {key,value}
ok
(exampleclient@yourhostname)>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
And check out the results back in the server terminal window:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
Got "hi there" from exampleclient@yourhostname
Got 42 from exampleclient@yourhostname
Got {key,value} from exampleclient@yourhostname
</syntaxhighlight>

Distributed Objects are ''natural'' to Objective-C, and OpenStep and derivated framework offers an easy way of ''using'' remote objects as if it were local. The client must only know the protocol the remote object support. For the rest, calling a remote object's method or local object's method is transparent.

This example builds a very basic RPC mechanism on top of sockets and the [http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#module-pickle pickle module]. Please note that the pickle module is not secure - a malicious client can build malformed data to execute arbitrary code on the server. If untrusted clients can access the server, the [http://docs.python.org/library/json.html json module] could be used as a substitute, but we lose the ability to transfer arbitrary Python objects that way.

Uses netcat and a buffer to cycle the server shell's stdout back to netcat's stdin.
 
===Server===
{{alertbox|yellow|'''Security risk!''' Anything, able to reach 127.0.0.1 port 1234, can run shell commands as the user who runs the server. This allows other users to gain privileges.}}
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">: >/tmp/buffer
tail -f /tmp/buffer | nc -l 127.0.0.1 1234 | sh >/tmp/buffer 2>&1</syntaxhighlight>
 
Limitations:
 
* The server can accept only one connection (but continues to run, not exit, after this connection dies).
* With some systems, <code>tail -f</code> might be slow to notice changes to /tmp/buffer.

As Wren has no networking support at present, we use embedded programs for both the server and client with a Go host using the net/rpc package in its standard library.
 
Moreover, as Wren's VM is not re-entrant, we need to run two VMs from the server side, one to call Go from Wren and the other to call Wren from Go.
 
'''Server:'''
<br>
We need two Wren scripts one for each VM:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">/* Distributed_programming_server.wren */
 
class Rpc {
foreign static register()
 
foreign static handleHTTP()
}
 
foreign class Listener {
construct listen(network, address) {}
}
 
class HTTP {
foreign static serve(listener)
}
 
Rpc.register()
Rpc.handleHTTP()
var listener = Listener.listen("tcp", ":1234")
HTTP.serve(listener)</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">/* Distributed_programming_server_2.wren */
 
class TaxComputer {
static tax(amount, rate) {
if (amount < 0) Fiber.abort("Negative values not allowed.")
return amount * rate
}
}</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
We now embed these scripts in the following Go program and run it on one terminal.
<syntaxhighlight lang="go">/* go run Distributed_programming_server.go */
