Outline Overview of China National Grid Project Major tasks of the project The research and development

supported Guideline and strategies of the project Time table About China Grid Forum International cooperation

Overview of China National Grid Recent effort of 863 research in HPCE and g

rids 863-306 supported National HPCE from 1999 to

2000 Key project (more than 50 million) Outcome

Dawning 3000 super server 9 HPCE sites on Cernet and CSTNet, forming the envir

onment about computing & data intensive applications System software for National HPCE

Overview of China National Grid A key project supported by the National

High-Tech R&D Program (the 863 program), continuing effort to the HPCE project

A 4-year effort 100 million fund from Chinese

government (MOST) Two to three times more associated

funds from local governments, application organizations, and industry

Overview of China National Grid Enabling resource sharing and

cooperative works under the Internet environment

Providing the most powerful computing capability to research

Exploring new models and patterns of applications and services in the Internet

Promote China’s industry in high performance computers and grids

Training of talent people in grid

Major tasks of the project Develop a testbed for the new information infrastr

ucture—China National Grid (CNGrid) About 11 grid sites across the country Interconnected by available networks

Develop a 4TFlops high performance computer to equip grid sites

Develop a grid software to support grid applications and grid operation and management

Develop several application grids Productive systems Demonstrate the future grid applications
