Nearly 200 volunteers from educational institutions, high performance computing sites, equipment vendors, research and education networks, government agencies and telecommunications carriers collaborate via technology and in-person to design, build and operate SCinet.

They include international students and participants in the National Science Foundation-funded Women in IT Networking at SC (WINS) program.

The 2017 SCinet team included women and men from high performance computing institutions in the U.S. and throughout the world.

For 29 years, SCinet has provided SC attendees and the high performance computing (HPC) community with the innovative network platform necessary to internationally interconnect, transport, and display HPC research during SC.

[3] Historically, SCinet has been used as a platform to test networking technology and applications which have found their way into common use.
