The biggest difference is that IPC can be presented in any form. It can be in the form of shared memory, it can be in the form of a byte stream, it can be in the form of messages. IPC is some way to send information from one process to another. RPC is specifically a way for one thread to call a function that will be executed by another thread, typically in another process or even on another machine. RPC is technically a form of IPC. (One way processes can communicate with each other is by having one process call a procedure in another process.)

In computing, Inter-process communication (IPC) is a set of methods for the exchange of data among multiple threads in one or more processes. Processes may be running on one or more computers connected by a network. IPC methods are divided into methods for message passing, synchronization, shared memory, and remote procedure calls (RPC). The method of IPC used may vary based on the bandwidth and latency of communication between the threads, and the type of data being communicated.
There are several reasons for providing an environment that allows process cooperation:
* Information sharing
* Speedup
* Modularity
* Convenience
* Privilege separation
IPC may also be referred to as inter-thread communication and inter-application communication.
