In 1994, IRIX 6.0 added support for the 64-bit MIPS R8000 processor, but is otherwise similar to IRIX 5.2. Later 6.x releases support other members of the MIPS processor family in 64-bit mode. IRIX 6.3 was released for the SGI O2 workstation only. [7] IRIX 6.4 improved multiprocessor scalability for the Octane, Origin 2000, and Onyx2 systems.
The SGI Octane with IMPACT-class graphics was first supported by IRIX version 6.4. VPro-class graphics have been supported since IRIX version 6.5.10 for V6 and V8, with V10 and V12 graphics supported as of 6.5.11 (or 6.5.10 with a special driver patch). Linux and OpenBSD have had support.
The Indigo was designed to run IRIX, SGI's version of Unix. [2] The Indigos with R3000 processors are supported up to IRIX version 5.3, and Indigo equipped with an R4000 or R4400 processor can run up to IRIX 6.5.22. Additionally, the free Unix-like operating system NetBSD has support for both the IP12 and IP20 Indigos as part of the sgimips ...
At the time of introduction, these ran the IRIX operating system, originally version 6.4 and later, 6.5. A variant of the Origin 2000 with graphics capability is known as the Onyx2 . An entry-level variant based on the same architecture but with a different hardware implementation is known as the Origin 200 .
The Fuel usually shipped with 10,000 rpm SCSI disks, but it can take good advantage of 15,000 rpm models, with sustained bandwidths up to three times faster than is possible with Octane2's internal UW bus. The Fuel was also the first SGI system to support USB devices in IRIX, although audio and HID USB devices were the only ones supported.
IRIX® 6.5 offers system scalability and binary compatibility across the MIPS® processor-based family of platforms and is compliant with UNIX® System V Release 4 and The Open Group's many standards, including UNIX 95 and POSIX®.
The IRIX Interactive Desktop running Netscape Navigator. IRIX Interactive Desktop (formerly called Indigo Magic Desktop) is a discontinued desktop environment normally used as the default desktop on Silicon Graphics workstations running IRIX. The IRIX Interactive Desktop uses the Motif widget toolkit on top of the X Window System found on most ...
The Onyx2, code name Kego, is a family of visualization systems developed and manufactured by SGI, introduced in 1996 to succeed the Onyx.The Onyx2's basic system architecture is based on the Origin 2000 servers, but with the inclusion of graphics hardware.
