Hi Saliya,

the Galaxy documentation is a good starting point for your questions:

http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/
http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/Add%20Tool%20Tutorial

Also have a look at the Tool Shed:
http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/Add%20Tool%20Tutorial

You can search for Galaxy related topics with:

Hope that helps as starting point. Galaxy will take care for your
cluster integration.

Cheers,
Bjoern
