 MIPS architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MIPS, for Microprocessor without interlocked pipeline stages, is a RISC microprocessor architecture developed by MIPS Computer Systems Inc. MIPS designs are used in SGI's computer product line, and have found broad application in embedded systems, Windows CE devices, and Cisco routers.
Among the manufacturers which made computer workstation systems using MIPS processors are SGI, MIPS Computer Systems, Inc., Olivetti, Siemens-Nixdorf, Acer, Digital Equipment Corporation, NEC, and DeskStation.
A more feature-rich MIPS emulator is available from the GXemul project (formerly known as the mips64emul project), which emulates not only the various MIPS III and higher microprocessors (from the R4000 through the R10000), but also emulates entire computer systems which use the microprocessors.

 MIPS
MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. was founded in 1984 upon the Stanford research from which the first MIPS chip resulted.
The MIPS processor was developed as part of a VLSI research program at Stanford University in the early 80s.
The instruction tells the processor to compute the sum of the values in registers 7 and 8 and store the result in register 12.

This required the changing of ownerships on millions of files on the Mips computer systems that were moving to the new site.
Introduction In July of 1992 Mips Computer Systems, a small, high-tech, computer company was purchased by one of their best customers, Silicon Graphics Inc.
Dozens of other projects were simultaneously underway to merge the database systems from the new entities, to deal with separate bug and information tracking systems, to separate the compute resources for the Mips engineering projects, to centralize source and release trees, and much more.

 MIPS OS
MIPS OS was one of the first 32-bit operating systems for RISC-based workstation-class computers.
The MIPS OS, originally developed by MIPS Computer Systems Inc. in 1985, was originally used on the MIPS Computer Sytems' own line of workstations.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, several vendors including DEC, Silicon Graphics, and Ardent licensed portions of the software MIPS had written for the MIPS OS for their own Unix variants.

His research interests include computer architecture, computer networking, and computer-aided design.
In addition to developing the architecture and the first integrated implementations, an enormous amount of software had to be moved from the VAX and MIPS (MIPS Computer Systems, Inc.) architectures to the Alpha AXP architecture.
At the hardware level, the I/O system supports block transfers of data from the main memory of the workstation to and from ADU memory.

It is a model for a computing machine that uses a single storage structure to hold both the set of instructions on how to perform the computation and the data required or generated by the computation.
An implication this might have on computer design would be to design the ISA around optimizing the performance and/or efficiency of move instructions.
Provide examples of application domains (types of applications, types of computer systems, etc.) where each of these ISAs is naturally suited. Stack-based ISAs: In a stack-based ISA, a stack is used to hold operands and results of arithmetic operations.

 The MIPS Programmer's Handbook - Preface
After completing the project in 1984, he co-founded MIPS Computer Systems, Inc., which was formed to build high-performance UNIX workstations using his new architecture.
The MIPS architecture was developed at Stanford University by John Hennessy, together with of a group of graduate students.
As computer consultants hired to provide software support for developers of MIPS-based embedded systems, we discovered that although there are an adequate number of documents describing the hardware architecture, there was almost nothing available that described how the chip is programmed.

 Jazz - LinuxMIPS
Jazz was the codename under which this family of systems was originally developed by Microsoft before it was sold off to MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. MIPS, Toshiba, Acer and various customers and licenses have developed a variety of architecturally very similar systems.
All Jazz computers are using PC-style i8042 keyboard and PS/2 mouse controller, i8072 floppy controller (attached to the RC4030 DMA and IRQ), 2x16450 RS-232 serial ports and PC-style LPT.
The original Microsoft/MIPS Magnum 4000 and Olivetti M700-10 use a simple framebuffer (capable of resolutions of 1024x768 or 1200x968 pixels at 8 bpp color) based on the Inmos G300 or G364(64-bit) RAMDAC and VRAM chipset (a similar G364-based framebuffer is found in an aftermarket graphics card for the Amiga).

 Electronic News: Convex confirms MIPS to HP shift: deal gives HP stake of 5% worth $18m - Convex Computer Corp. to use ...
Convex's switch to PA-RISC comes at the expense of MIPS, whose R4000 was being used in development of two different computers, a MPP system and a multiprocessor system.
The MPP system is slated to use a multiple-instruction, multiple-data, or MIMD, programming approach and run under a version of the OSF/1 operating system, Convex said.
The 5-percent equity investment by HP was included "as a way of cementing the relationship," said Lewis Platt, executive vice president of its computer systems organization.

As it turns out, these shiny new SGI Power Challenge computers can double as super-fast multimedia servers to store and deliver on demand various digital media - movies, TV shows, games, and much more - to digital cable- converter boxes that will be making their appearance in some US homes beginning next year.
In fact, Morris says, SGI computers have become a status symbol.
