Abstract

A few grid-computing tools are available for public use. However, such systems are usually quite complex and require several man-months to set up. In case the user wishes to set-up an ad-hoc grid in a small span of time, such tools cannot be used. Moreover, the complex services they provide, like, reliable file transfer, extra layers of security etc., act as an overhead to performance in case the network is small and reliable. In this paper we describe the structure of our grid-computing framework, which can be implemented and used, easily on a moderate sized network.
