Much of the hardware design can be traced back to the SGI IRIS 4D/3x series, which shared the same memory controller, Ethernet, SCSI, and optionally DSP as the IP12 Indigo. The 4D/30, 4D/35 and Indigo R3000 are all considered IP12 machines and run the same IRIX kernel. The Indigo R3000 is effectively a reduced cost 4D/35 without a VME bus.
SGI Indigo2 IMPACT and a promotional SGI espresso machine in an Indigo case Indigo2 IMPACT R10000 Badge for a Power Indigo2 with Extreme Graphics. The SGI Indigo2 (stylized as "Indigo 2") and the SGI Challenge M are Unix workstations which were designed and sold by SGI from 1992 to 1997. The Indigo2, codenamed "Fullhouse", is a desktop workstation.
The 4D/35 would later be cost-reduced into the IRIS Indigo, released in 1991, which was so architecturally similar to the 4D/35 that it shared the same Internal Processor ID (IP12) in software. [ 8 ] Beginning in late 1992 with the release of the Indigo² and Challenge , the 'IRIS' prefix would be dropped from the names of all future systems ...
Silicon Graphics, Inc. (stylized as SiliconGraphics before 1999, later rebranded SGI, historically known as Silicon Graphics Computer Systems or SGCS) was an American high-performance computing manufacturer, producing computer hardware and software.
IRIX (/ ˈ aɪ r ɪ k s /, EYE-ricks) is a discontinued operating system developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) to run on the company's proprietary MIPS workstations and servers. It is based on UNIX System V with BSD extensions. In IRIX, SGI originated the XFS file system and the industry-standard OpenGL graphics API.
Silicon Graphics International Corp. (SGI; formerly Rackable Systems, Inc.) was an American manufacturer of computer hardware and software, including high-performance computing systems, x86-based servers for datacenter deployment, and visualization products.
The 56k series was intended mainly for embedded systems doing signal processing, but was also quite popular for a time in a number of computers, including the NeXT, Atari Falcon030 and SGI Indigo workstations all using the 56001. [6]
IrisVision was an unintended offshoot of SGI's attempts to port the subsystem to IBM's Micro Channel Architecture. They found it was much easier to debug the prototype implementations on an IBM PS/2. To quote R.C. Brown: At some point, the light went off in someone's head; "Why don't we sell this board set for use in PCs?". IrisVision was born.
