Abstract

The NPACI HotPage is a user portal that provides views of a distributed set of HPC resources either as an integrated meta-system, or as individual machines. These web pages run on any web browser, regardless of system or geographical location and are supported by secure, encrypted login sessions where authenticated users can access their HPC system accounts and perform basic computational tasks.We describe the development of the Grid Portals Toolkit (GridPort), which is based on the architecture developed for the HotPage, and will provide computational scientists and application developers with a set of simple, modular services and tools that allow application level, customized science portals development and facilitates seamless web-based access to distributed compute resources and grid services.
