Abstract: CMS has chosen to adopt a distributed model for all computing in order to cope with the requirements on computing and storage resources needed for the processing and analysis of the huge amount of data the experiment will be providing from LHC startup.An overview of the architecture of the CMS Grid computing system will be given in this paper.The baseline system as well as possible extensions of the baseline capabilities and functionalities will be described.The architecture is based on a set of loosely coupled components that allow an iterative process of developing and integrating new components, increasing the scale and functionality of the system.The evolving computing system is tested in major data and service "challenges".Experience gained in past challenges and expectations from future challenges will be reported.The CMS computing environment is a distributed system of computing services and resources that interact with each other as Grid services.CMS-specific services are built on top of lowerlevel services provided by Grid projects.Emphasis will be placed on describing the CMS data placement and transfer system as well as the distributed Monte Carlo production on the Grid.
