Abstract
A first computer process serves remote procedure calls received from an instruction set that executes within a second computer process, and the second computer process executes concurrently and independently of the first computer process. The remote procedure calls are served by the first computer process which: receives a request for a data file from the instruction set where the request is according to a data file retrieval protocol; determines that the request for the data file specifies a function which is defined within the first computer process where the function includes computer instructions that perform a task which is unrelated to both generation and retrieval of any data file specified in the request; and executes the function to execute the computer instructions in response to receipt of the request.
