The International Conference for High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis

Conference Dates: Nov. 15 - 20, 2015 Exhibition Dates: Nov. 16-19, 2015
The International Conference for High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
SCinet is the Supercomputing
Conference’s dedicated,
high performance research
network. It is the fastest and
most powerful network in
the world, built by volunteer
expert engineers from
industry, academia, and
government, for the duration
of SC, which is just one week!
After one year of
design and planning,
dedicated team members spend one week
setting up SCinet, one
week operating it, and
24 hours tearing it all
down!
SC14’s network
traffic peaked at
more than 900
Gigabits per second, supporting all
high-performance
research demos,
wireless traffic,
SC meeting room
connections and
more.
Outside of high
performance
demos with
computing and
networking,
SCinet provides
wireless and
wired connections so everyone
can continue
with business as
usual.

SCinet at Scale
An Innovative Platform
for HPC
• SCinet volunteers installed 84 miles of
network cables and fiber for SC14.
For 25 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 at SC.
• SCinet supplied 1.3 Terabit per second
of bandwidth capacity onto the SC14
Exhibit show floor in collaboration with
research and education networks, and
commercial networks. (That’s more
than 100,000 times the average home
network speed!)
A One-of-a-Kind Research
Network
SCinet is a unique platform for running
HPC applications and demos. It also
showcases innovative network technologies and protocols that HPC applications
depend upon to run their high performing demos.
A Hub for High-Performance
Networking
In addition, SCinet is a hub for the
international networking community. It
is the place to share the latest research,
technologies, and demonstrations for
networks, network technology providers,
and even software developers who are in
charge of supporting HPC communities
at their own institutions or organizations.
#SCinet
• SCinet’s Contributors loaned over
$15 million in state-of-the-art
equipment for SC14.
• SCinet’s wireless served more than
4,000 clients throughout SC14, day in
and day out!
• 125 volunteer engineers and professionals representing 6 countries and
spanning 66 different organizations
built and operated SC14’s SCinet.
The SCinet Team
Volunteers come from educational
institutions, high performance computing sites, equipment vendors, research
networks, government agencies and
telecommunications carriers from
around the world to design, build, and
deliver SCinet. Vendor partners loan
or donate much of the equipment and
services needed to build this impressive
network infrastructure.
