A new era of modern computing ushered in early forties. This new concept demanded more and more computing power as the day past. It was assistance to solve large complex problems. Supercomputing has witnessed a paradigm shift from massively parallel supercomputers to network computers. Though dedicated high end supercomputers still have their place in the market yet combined unused CPU cycles of desktop PCs available in the campus network can form comparable virtual supercomputers. Consequently, distributed computing attracted a boost of attention and becoming one of the most promising areas of large scale scientific computing. Local Area Network (LAN) consists of different clusters of high end desktop PCs. These clusters are geographically distributed over the campus wide network and called local grid of clusters. In this paper, we are presenting Grid-enabled PC Cluster (GPCC), exhibiting low latency and high bandwidth subcommunication system. The design of the GPCC is such that it keeps in view the TCP windows buffer size of local1 and non-local2 nodes in the network environment.
