ABSTRACT
Taiz University (TU) has a hundreds of computing resources on different campuses for use in areas from offices
work to general access student labs. However, these resources are not used to their full potential. Grid computing
is a technology that is capable to unify these resources and utilize them in very significant way. The difficulties
of funding a complete grid computing environment and also, the difficulties of grid tools makes teachers and
researchers in TU unable to involve in teaching and research in grid computing or in distributed computing.
These problems raised up our awareness to mitigate this problem by build a simple environment for Grid
computing from resources are available in TU and the built environment we can use it for teaching and research.
The objective of this paper is to build, implement and testing a grid computing environment (Globus Toolkit). To
achieving this objective we built the hardware and software parts, and configured several basic grid services
commands line and web portal. The test result for basic grid services have been indicated that our proposed grid
computing model is promising and can use in teaching and research in TU. The paper takes a look at how grid
computing is realizing this aim and have created unbelievable opportunities for students, teachers and
researchers at TU in addition the result of this paper will make TU a pilot to the other universities in whole
Yemen in field of Grid and distributing computing.
