Overview of the China National Grid (CNGrid) key project supported by the

National High-Tech R&D Program (the 863 program)

4-year project Launched in May 2002 Earliest and largest Grid project in China 100 million fund from the Chinese

government (MOST) Two to three times more associated

funds from local governments, application organizations, and industry

Major tasks of the project Developing a test-bed for the new information infrastruct

ure—China National Grid (CNGrid) About 8 grid nodes across the country Interconnected by available networks

Developing a 4TFlops high performance computer for the grid

Developing a set of grid software to support grid applications and grid operation and management

Developing several application grids Productive systems Demonstration of the future grid applications
