Hi Sandeep, the Globus Toolkit itself doesn't provide you with a programming framework for distributed applications. It only provides you with tools to access your distributed infrastructure (e.g. transparent file transfers, job submission, replica management, etc).
If you want to run some applications "on the grid", just take any distributed code (MPI, RMI, Corba, socket-based or whatever) and use globus' job launching facilities to execute it. If you like Python, you can look for example at the code examples at http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html and write some socket-based distributed application (e.g. dist. counter increment or something like that) and execute on your Globus grid. You could also check out "bashreduce" (http://github.com/erikfrey/bashreduce), a neat bash-script implementation of Google's Map reduce. With some small modifications, you can run that on your grid as well. Hope that helps.
