Translation of "Remote procedure call" into English

when a computer program causes a procedure (subroutine) to execute in another address space, which is coded as if it were a normal (local) procedure call, without the programmer explicitly coding the details for the remote interaction

A communication mechanism that allows computers to communicate with one another over a network. An RPC consists of a procedure identifier, parameters passed to the procedure, and a value returned to the caller (client computer) after the procedure has executed on the remote system (server computer).
