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 ...
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 Unix systems.
Indy was launched with the IRIX 5.1 operating system, [1] by which it is binary-compatible across the entire SGI family. [1] [3] 5.1 does not take full advantage of the hardware due to inadequate memory management. Later in 1993, SGI increased the base specification to 32 MB. IRIX 5.2 and later have much more efficient memory usage. [3]
The Onyx was employed in early 1995 for development kits used to produce software for the Nintendo 64 and, because the technology was so new, the Onyx was noted as the major factor for the impressively high price of US$100,000 [1] – US$250,000 [2] for such kits. The Onyx was succeeded by the Onyx2 in 1996 and was discontinued on March 31, 1999.
IRIX is (and always has been) SVR4 (System 5 Release 4) with BSD extensions (namely networking and some other bits and pieces). From SGI.com: The IRIX® operating system is the leading technical high-performance 64-bit operating system based on industry-standard UNIX®.
