Rezumat:

This paper describes the Astrophysics Simulation
Collaboratory (ASC) portal, a collaborative environment in which
distributed projects can perform research. The ASC
project seeks to provide a web-based problem solving framework for the
astrophysics community to harness computational Grids. To
facilitate collaboration amongst distributed researchers within a
virtual organization, the ASC Portal supplies specialized tools for
the management of large-scale numerical simulations and the resources
on which they are performed. The ASC Virtual Organization uses
the Cactus framework for studying numerical relativity and
astrophysics phenomena. We describe the architecture of the ASC Portal
and present its components with emphasis on elements related to
the Cactus framework.
