Oh, not SICP.

The similar acronym appears to be intentional:

> Note on the name: SCIP is pronounced the same way as “skip” and it’s a recursive acronym that stands for “SCIP Code Intelligence Protocol.”

> SCIP is also a purposeful nod to SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Programs), a book about analyzing programs.

Or the other other SCIP: https://www.scipopt.org/
Also not SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation), widely used to control lab instruments and pronounced similarly ("skippy").
There IS no… wait, wrong acronym.
... and not the solver for mixed integer (linear) programming (MI(L)P) and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP):

This is what I clicked for.
damn that is a cute logo, what a miss for SCIP-code
Also not this SCIP: https://www.scipopt.org/
And also not SCP.
At least, not that we remember.
SCIP is a "nod" to SICP
I misread it too.
Imagine working for this company where engineers don’t know about SICP
