I think the hinv is unecessary long. Because there are different types of cpus in the system the list each cpu as a separate line.

It's a great testament to SGI's engineering that different CPU speeds and cache sizes can be mixed in one multi-processor system.  Some other architectures won't allow that.  Heck, it's impressive just to see so many CPUs in a single system (rather than a cluster).  I love seeing all the SCSI channels and Ethernet interfaces enumerated, too.  What would be the point of lots CPUs without impressive I/O to interface to them?

Great system. Thanks for posting that!

Here's my Origin 2000 with 64 cpus, which I think is maximum cpu count without special router.

<snip>
What software can I run to stresstest this ?

holy cow!  now that is an impressive setup!  Honestly good question though, I can think of many things to do with a 64cpu sgi, but without graphics I dunno - only thing I can think of is a compiling/dev system.  I've heard of people using an o2 or octane to "front-end" to a big origin system, but I never really had any understand what they could possibly be doing other than running something like a compiler or number crunching program (factoring primes, etc)

edit: btw we could really use a seperate "hinv/show off your stuff" category

Very nice clean machine, now all you need is that Elan door to complete her! (if you can get your hands on the correct font, you could always get the Elan logo silkscreened onto your machines's existing door.)

Not necessarily ... the "Elan silkscreen door" goes with an R3000 Elan Indigo. The R4x00 Elan Indigo had a standard (blank?) door and an "Elan" badge.

The devil is in the details

When I got my Indigo decades ago, it was a R3000 XZ but it had the Elan door for some reason. It didn't have the badge, so when I upgraded it to the R4400/150mhz I got the Elan badge and kept the Elan door, I think it just looks more complete that way 👍

I upgraded my Onyx2 to Infinite Reality 4

I think the deskside Onyx2 is one of the best systems to have: you can play with Infinite Reality without having to deal with the space, noise and power requirements of a tall rack.

This is about as far as you can take the Onyx2: R14K CPUs, 8GB RAM, IR4 with dual RM11's. It's got FC, dual gigabit ethernet, and a full set of DMediaPro HD video I/O hardware: a DM2 board, a DG5-TVO with a pair of DVI ports for HD-GVO applications using an external DMediaPro VBOB (with a DM5, the same vbob as used by the Octane2/Tezro).

I intend to run Discreet Inferno on it.

Very nice!

So how does it perform, compared to the IR3 system?

[jan-jaap]

So how does it perform, compared to the IR3 system?

Well, all I did so far is run 'irsaudit' to make sure it's 100% OK. I'm busy with the network here so the system isn't even wired at the moment. I did receive more parts (GE16-4's, RM11's etc) so I'll be busy for a while. I also have some new Gefen VGA to DVI Scalers (EXT-VGA-2-DVISP) and I want to see if that results in usable DVI output from the Onyx2. I will also have another look at the IR demos scripts vs. IR3/IR4.

IR4 should give a little extra compared to the jump from IR2E to IR3. In that case the performance is identical (I think), you just get a different texture memory board with 256MB instead of 64MB of TRAM. The frame buffer memory board of the sandwich is the same between RM9 and RM10. Not so for the RM11; you get a different raster board with 2.5GB of raster memory and the texture board has 1GB TRAM. It also has a higher fill rate. Other limitations of IR stay: you do not get more geometry performance, and you still cannot have two screens at 1920x1200.

So it's really going to depend on what you want to do with it. Discreet software makes good use of it, the number of HD streams you can handle simultaneously depends on the amount of TRAM. Of course the IR4 crushes the V12 there. Since I have the DM2 and the DG5-TVO I have what it takes to piece together a sweet Inferno setup. Originally, these ran on the tall rack Onyx2 which has many more XIO slots, so I don't know if I can install enough FC bandwidth in a deskside. Also, the 500MHz R14K CPUs are going to loose to the 1GHz R16Ks in the Tezro. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

I said it before: when it comes to the graphics of Silicon Graphics, the Onyx2 is the sweet spot. And IR4 is the ultimate graphics upgrade for the ultimate (silicon) graphics system you can still run in a residential setting. It's a taste of Infinite Reality without having to worry about 3-phase power and structural reinforcements to your house. I've seen a real life Onyx 3900 in action at a customer in ~ 2011. 7 tall racks, 7 IR4 pipes and "as many 1GHz CPUs as SGI was able to supply". It only makes me appreciate my little Onyx2 deskside more, because in the basis it's the same. The Onyx 3900 is just more of the same. Lots and lots more.
