Design and Development of Grid Portals

Grids are becoming platforms for high-performance and distributed computing. Grids benefit users by permitting them to access heterogeneous resources that are distributed geographically and organizationally. They allow users to execute compute intensive problems whose computational requirements cannot be satisfied by a single machine. This paper presents design and development details of Grid portals. The development, as discussed in this paper is based on Globus Grid GT3 for the windows 2000 platform.
