MIPS architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3621 words) |
 | By the late 1990s MIPS was a powerhouse in the embedded processor field, and in 1997 the 48-millionth MIPS-based CPU shipped, making it the first RISC CPU to outship the famous Motorola 68000 family. |
 | Success followed success, and today the MIPS cores are one of the most-used "heavyweight" cores in the marketplace for computer-like devices (hand-held computers, set-top boxes, etc.), with other designers fighting it out for other niches. |
 | 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 OS is the operating system first used with the MIPS microprocessor that debuted in 1985. |
 | MIPS OS is a Unix variant that loosely descended from 4.2BSD Unix. |
 | The MIPS OS, originally developed by MIPS Computer Systems Inc, was used on the Ardent Titan, DEC DECstation 3100, and later on Silicon Graphics workstations. |
