DotGrid: A .NET-based cross-platform Grid computing infrastructure

Recently, grid infrastructures have provided wide integrated use of resources. DotGrid intends to introduce required grid services and toolkits that are implemented as a layer wrapped over the existing operating systems. Our DotGrid has been developed based on Microsoft .NET in Windows and MONO .NET in Linux and UNIX. Using DotGrid APIs, grid middlewares and applications can be implemented easily. We evaluated DotGrid capabilities by implementing some applications including a high throughput file transfer and solving a typical computational problem.
