I really miss the good old SGI.
-
@StephenSuttieHouse, it took 15+ years. I call that real slow progress. SGI is also ‘conveniently’ out of the way.
-
My dad still works at SGI I remember when we got an N64 before anyone else.
-
Because SGI has been defunct / in-out of bankruptcy for about 10 years, that answer your question?
-
Oh no doubt... Linux is great. Definitely not a resource hog. I use Fedora currently... used to run Kubuntu. There's a few games I have that I wish would run on Linux... that way I can remove Windows from my machine already.
-
idk, must be because it runs a linux platform, because this PC that im on now runs Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS with 256 MB ram, 1.8 GHz Processor, and a ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 GPU, and it runs beautifully!!! I guess linux is not that dependent on resources!
-
Yeah. everything is moving towards commodity solutions these days. They really should have shifted focus towards software and exited the hardware business earlier.. But I guess they didnt see it coming.
They should have.

@illriginalized thing is though, SGi basically couldn't compete once the game hit GHz, they've been in and out of bankruptcy ever since. The competition caught up with their horribly expensive custom hardware and thrashed it at 1/100th of the price, so that's that really. Cray.

well SGI are finished these days, they're a late 90s thing with crazy custom silicone. When the best mac was 40MHz SGi were running multinodal behaviour with 266MHz RISC CPUs and optimised Linux. Totally different hardware architecture.
However, your modern gaming rig these days just sh1ts from a great height on their stuff.
About 8 years ago SGi called it quits and now just sell stock hardware with SGi software. They built maya, for example.!

Google is your friend. That is exactly what SGI is today. Commodity Intel multi core processors running Linux. Their high speed memory interconnect allows WAY faster computing with thousands of cores than just a bunch of Linux box's connected with infiniband. Yes, they are still very relevant in Supercomputing.

Though, in fairness, it appears that they made some really bad decisions that sped up their demise as well. Such as ditching MIPS/IRIX and exiting the graphics business (!).
