  1. MIPS-X

    MIPS X is a microprocessor and instruction set architecture developed as a follow on project to the MIPS architecture at Stanford University by the same team that developed MIPS. The project, supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, started in 1984, and its final form was described in a set of papers released in 1986 87. Unlike its older cousin, MIPS X was never commercialized as a workstation CPU, and has mainly been seen in Embedded system embedded designs based on chips designed by 8x8 Inc Integrated Information Technology for use in digital video applications. MIPS X, while designed by the same team and architecturally very similar, is not instruction set compatible with the mainline MIPS R series processors. The processor is obscure enough that as of this writing support for it is provided only by specialist developers such as Green Hills Software , and is notably missing from GNU Compiler Collection GCC . MIPS X has become important among DVD player firmware Hacker hobbyist hackers , since many low end DVD players use chips based on the IIT design and produced by ESS Technology Inc. as their central processor and MPEG 2 decoder. The Programmer s Manual described an instruction called hsc , which means halt and spontaneously combust . The manual claimed that on the NSA versions of the processor, this instruction was executed when a protection violation was detected, ref ftp reports.stanford.edu pub cstr reports csl tr 86 289 CSL TR 86 289.pdf hsc instruction , MIPS X Instruction Set and Programmer s Manual, p. 65. ref however this was intended as a joke.

  1. R6000

    The R6000 is a microprocessor chip set developed by MIPS Computer Systems that implemented the MIPS II instruction set architecture ISA . The chip set consisted of the R6000 microprocessor, R6010 floating point unit and R6020 system bus controller. The R6000 was the first implementation of the MIPS II ISA. The R6000 was implemented with emitter coupled logic ECL . In the mid to late 1980s, the trend was to implement high end microprocessors with high speed logic such as ECL. As MIPS was a fabless company, the R6000 chip set was Semiconductor device fabrication fabricated by Bipolar Integrated Technology . The R6000 had few users. Control Data Systems CDS used an 80 MHz version in their high end 4680 300 Series InforServer server. MIPS used the R6000 in their RC6260 and RC6280 servers.

History MDMX was developed to accelerate multimedia applications that were becoming more popular and common in the 1990s on RISC and CISC systems. Functionality MDMX defines a new set of thirty two 64 bit registers called media registers, which are mapped onto the existing floating point registers to save hardware and a 192 bit extended product accumulator. The media registers hold two new data types octo byte OB and quad half QH that contain eight bytes 8 bit and four halfwords 16 bit integers. Variants of existing instructions operate on these data types, performing saturating arithmetic , logical, shift, compare and align operations. MDMX also introduced 19 instructions for permutation, manipulating bytes in registers, performing arithmetic with the accumulator, and accumulator access.

    DeskStation Technology was a manufacturer of RISC based computer workstations intended to run Windows NT . DeskStation was based in Lenexa, Kansas Lenexa , Kansas . MIPS based systems Initially, DeskStation designed and produced MIPS architecture MIPS based workstations, such as the DeskStation Tyne v4633x and DeskStation rPC44 Evolution E4400 RISC PC and Evolution R4400 RISC PC , which conformed to the Advanced RISC Computing ARC computer specification and implemented the associated firmware . Rather than adopt the Jazz computer Jazz reference design for its MIPS systems, DeskStation developed its own internal bus and chipset systems which offered greater performance compared to the more common Jazz machines. The resulting DeskStation machines began production in 1994, and had an initial price range from 2,990 for a basic system to 6,000 or more for machines with secondary cache and large memory configurations. Alpha based systems Later, when Windows NT was ported to the DEC Alpha Alpha architecture, DeskStation created a flexible computer platform that allowed either MIPS or Alpha architectures to be swapped either during production or by the end user. These machines, part of the DeskStation Raptor series, were called the Raptor Reflex line. In 1998, DeskStation licensed its motherboard designs and chipsets from to Samsung, a DEC Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha licensee.

  1. R2000 (microprocessor)

    The R2000 is a microprocessor chip set developed by MIPS Computer Systems that implemented the MIPS I instruction set architecture ISA . Introduced in January 1986, it was the first commercial implementation of the MIPS architecture and the first merchant RISC processor available to all companies. The R2000 competed with Digital Equipment Corporation DEC VAX minicomputers and with Motorola 68000 and Intel Corporation 80386 microprocessors. R2000 users included Ardent Computer , DEC, Silicon Graphics , and MIPS s own Unix workstations. The chip set consisted of the R2000 microprocessor, R2010 floating point accelerator, and four R2020 write buffer chips. The core R2000 chip executed all non floating point instructions with a simple short pipeline. This chip also controlled the external code and data caches, made of fast standard SRAM chips organized with direct indexing and one cycle read latency. The R2000 chip contained a small translation lookaside buffer for mapping virtual memory addresses. The R2010 chip held the floating point registers, floating point data paths, and their longer simple pipeline. Writes to main memory DRAM took tens of cycles to fully complete. But the R2020 chips queued and completed up to 4 pending writes to main memory, allowing the R2000 core to proceed without stalling itself. In the absence of cache misses, this chip set sustained an instruction completion rate of one instruction per ALU cycle. This was much faster than non RISC microprocessors of that time .... MIPS was a fabless semiconductor company, that is, they did not have the capability to fabricate integrated circuits.
