Grid computing presents a new trend to distributed computing and Internet applications, which can construct a virtual single image of heterogeneous resources, provide uniform application interface and integrate widespread computational resources into super, ubiquitous and transparent aggregation. ChinaGrid project, founded by Ministry of Education of China, is an attempt to achieve above goals by exploring the various resources on existing and well developed internet infrastructure, CERNET (China Education and Research Network). In this paper, I will introduce the general picture of ChinaGrid project, its vision and mission. The design of ChinaGrid support platform, called CGSP, is also discussed briefly. To illustrate the reality of ChinaGrid project, five different grid computing applications and its application supporting platform are discussed in detail. The purpose of this paper is to introduce this great grid project to the world completely for the first time. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
