The term computational Grids refers to infrastructures aimed at allowing users to access and/or aggregate potentially large numbers of powerful and sophisticated resources. More formally, Grids are defined as infrastructure allowing flexible, secure, and coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources referred to as virtual organizations. This paper describes a new Grid application: the recently funded U.S. National Fusion Collaboratory and its potential for driving the understanding and development of computational Grids.
