ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method in a heterogeneous computer system having at least two CPU's accessing a common memory, which memory has stored therein at least two distinct operating systems. Client and Server Programs are also stored in the common memory. The Client Program is adapted for making function calls to the Server Program and the Server Program is adapted for returning results of the called function to the Client Program. Moreover, the Server Program is adapted for making function calls back to the Client Program and for receiving results therefrom. The Client Program includes procedures for invoking a Server Program function, for converting parameters and result data from a format compatible with the first operating system to one compatible with the second operating system and for passing data between the Client CPU and the Server CPU. The Server Program includes Procedures for invoking a Client Program function and for converting parameters and result data from a format compatible with the second operating system to one compatible with the first operating system.
