MIPS Technologies
(MIPS Technologies, Inc., Mountain View, CA, www.mips.com) Founded in 1984 as MIPS Computer Systems Inc., the company merged with SGI in 1992 and spun off as an independent entity once again in 2000. MIPS is the designer of RISC-based microprocessors, which are made under license by NEC, Toshiba, Philips and others. They are widely used in a myriad of products, including printers and copiers, DVDs and digital TVs. MIPS also licenses its compilers and RISC/OS system software.

SGI computers used to be powered by MIPS CPUs, and earlier chips used an "R" designation as in R3000, R4000, R5000, etc. Subsequently, chip models fell into MIPS32 and MIPS64 families. See SGI.

It took approximately 21/2 days of CPU-time to simulate the experiment on a Silicon Graphics workstation with an R10000 processor.
Fujitsu Siemens also offers the SR2000 servers which run the BS2000-OSD mainframe operating system from the CMOS mainframes on up to eight 250MHz MIPS R10000 RISCs, the same chips that power Siemens' Reliant Unix servers.
In addition, the 270 MHz R12000 O2 system will ship with a 9GB hard disk, more than twice the storage capacity offered on the 225 MHz R10000 O2 system for the same price.
