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.
