Its development was made possible by the support of Cluster Resources, Inc. (now Adaptive Computing) and the contributions of many individuals and sites including the U.S. Department of Energy, PNNL, the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of Utah (CHPC), Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), University of Southern California (USC), SDSC, MHPCC, BYU, NCSA, and many others.
The Mitrion Platform was launched in 2005 and has been used by many of the world's leading supercomputing organizations including NCSA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, George Washington University, McGill University, National Cancer Institute and Konrad-Zuse Institute Berlin.
The NC3B meets every 6 months to review progress within the NC3O's two agencies, the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) and the NATO Communication and Information Systems Services Agency NCSA, previously known as NACOSA.
From 1991-1994, this program was expanded to include summer programs at other supercomputing centers (NCSA and University of Huntsville, Alabama in 1991; Reed College and the Oregon Graduate Institute, and Sandia National Laboratories in 1992).
Visualization tools that are commonly used include the original TRANSIMS visualizer, fourDscape and the Balfour (software) visualizer, ArcGIS and similar GIS tools, Google Earth and NASA World Wind, Advanced Visualization (NCSA), and NEXTA.
