The real and specific problem that underlies the Grid concept is coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. This concept is realized in the most popular problem solving environments (PSEs) such as NetSolve and WebPDELab. These systems use some approaches to computational Grids and Web browser interfaces to back-end computing resources. The aim of our work is to build PSE implemented as a Web portal that allows clients to choose the most appropriate services to solve some problems using of matrix-algebra and numerical methods based on MPI techniques. In addition, it is available to extend the library of the Web-portal by loading computational algorithms. The proposed system allows to users a rapid prototyping of ideas, detailed analysis, and higher productivity.
