Acronym: Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS-architecture
An architecture by MTI. MTI was acquired by SGI in the 90’s. Earlier versions of the MIPS were 32-bit, whereas later versions of the architecture were 64-bit
Computers using the MIPS architecture include:
- SGI Indigo (32-bit). R2000, R3000.
- SGI Indy (64-bit). R4x00, R5000.
- SGI Indigo2 (64-bit). R4400, R10000.
- SGI Octane (64-bit). R10000 and higher.
- SGI O2 (64-bit). R10000 and higher.
- SGI Tezro (64-bit). R10000 and higher.
- Several Cisco routers.
- Nintendo N64 (64-bit). R4300.
- Sony Playstation2 (64-bit). R5000.
