	PDA Encyclopedia - MIPS
		The MIPS CPU family was one of the most successful and flexible CPU designs throughout the 1990s, and has found broad application in embedded systems, Windows CE devices, SGI workstations, and Cisco Internet routers.
		By the late 1990s MIPS was a powerhouse in the embedded processor field, and in 1997 the 48th million 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.

	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.
		MIPS cores have been very successful, they form the basis of many newer Cisco routers, cable modems and ADSL modems, smartcards, laser printer engines, set-top boxes, handheld computers, and the Sony PlayStation 2.
		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 architecture
		MIPS is an acronum for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages, a microprocessor architecture developed by MIPS Computer Systems Inc..
		MIPS IV Because the designers created such a clean instruction set (see Instructions), computer architecture courses in universities and technical schools often study the MIPS architecture.
		In 1987 the successor, the R3000 CPU was released.

		Mips was in the middle of several important projects, and SGI did not want to lose key Mips employees due to the feeling of neglect or mistreatment.
		The members of the Mips support group were all expected to apply and interview for the positions in Silicon Graphics at the same time that they were trying to support projects at Mips, design the domain for MTI, and learn the new operating system and hardware platforms in order to train the Mips engineers.
		Mips followed relatively strict rules for internal security of the machines while SGI had the iron door philosophy where the gateways are very secure, but all the rest of the machines are basically open.

	MIPS
		The MIPS processor was developed as part of a VLSI research program at Stanford University in the early 80s.
		MIPS used 32 registers, each 32 bits wide (a bit pattern of this size is referred to as a word).
		MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. was founded in 1984 upon the Stanford research from which the first MIPS chip resulted.

		System cost is important in a high-volume product, but is not important when only a few systems are produced.
		This does not eliminate all race conditions; in particular, it allows a dirty secondary cache block to be invalidated by a system bus write while the CPU interface is waiting to acquire the bus to write the block to memory.
		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.

		Among the manufacturers which made computer workstation systems using MIPS processors are SGI, MIPS Computer Systems, Inc., Digital Equipment Corporation, NEC, and DeskStation.
		However, use of MIPS microprocessors in embedded roles is likely to remain common, because of the low power-consumption and heat characteristics of embedded MIPS implementations, the wide availability of embedded development tools for MIPS, as well as experts knowledgeable about the architecture.
		A more feature-rich MIPS emulator is available from 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.

		The MIPS OS, originally developed by MIPS Computer Systems Inc. in 1985, was originally used on the MIPS Computer Sytems' own line of workstations.
		It was a dual-universe operating system, meaning that it had separate, switchable runtime environments to closely model both the BSD and System V flavors of Unix.
		MIPS' influence was most visible as the C compiler shared by virtually all commercial Unixes for the MIPS processor.

		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.
		Most of these systems shipped with the ARC firmware and were intended to run Windows NT.
		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.

	Central processing unit
		The term CPU is often used vaguely to include other centrally important parts of a computer such as caches and input/output controllers, especially when those functions are on the same microprocessor chip as the CPU.
		Manufacturers of desktop computers often erroneously describe the entire personal computer (the system unit or sometimes white box including the computer case and the computer hardware it contains) as the CPU.

		The MIPS architecture was developed at Stanford University by John Hennessy, together with of a group of graduate students.
		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.
		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.

	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.
		Debra Goldfarb, manager of high-performance systems research at International Data Corp., was critical of the decision to drop Medusa, which she described as a "very clever" design.
		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.

		Last year it acquired MIPS Computer Systems Inc., which designs (but doesn't manufacture) the microprocessors used in SGI computers; MIPS chips are also used by such hardware manufacturers as AT&T Federal Systems Computer Division, Control Data Systems, NEC, Olivetti, Siemens, Nixdorf, and Sony Microsystems.
		Although Wall Street initially questioned the wisdom of acquiring MIPS, the consensus these days is that it was a smart move, one that has given the company more control over its destiny.
		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.
