Hi
Thanks a lot for reply.
I am just trying to test 'proof of concept', thats why I am having
only two machines.
Is there any dummy/proof of concept application to test the potential
and to develop knowhow for future course of action?
Thanks & Regards
JP Singh

It has facilities for data management, execution management, and
information services. So, for instance, you could setup providers on
your hosts that reported into a central index service, then run Gridway
at the top to metaschedule between the two machines. Your data will be
staged when necessary, or you could setup replica catalogs to keep
copies of your data at all the relevant sites. Or, as someone else
pointed out, if you were using MPI you could schedule runs across
multiple sites.
Globus isn't designed to take a single non-parallel application and
make it run faster. It's designed to give you access to heterogenous
resources from multiple providers and use them more effectively. With
two single-cpu machines, you're not likely to get much speedup out of
spreading access across the two of them.
