Abstract :
In this paper, we present a grid infrastructure we have built to support undergraduate education and research in the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD). The grid is based on four clusters of personal computers. A portal is built to allow remote access to services deployed on the clusters. To address the needs in the undergraduate education at UHD, a lab interface is designed to accommodate lab activity packages for our computer science courses. Student research is also supported by this grid computing environment.
