+# SGI Onyx 3200
+
+> Published at 2025-02-13T21:17:16+02:00
+
+For nostalgia, I've kept this output of the 'dmesg' around. It's from an SGI Onyx 3200 graphics supercomputer with the following specs:
+
+* 4 400 MHz IP35 MIPS CPUs
+* 4GB of RAM
+
+=> ./sgi-onyx-3200/desk.webp
+
+We used this monster when I was a student worker at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology around the year 2006. It operated a walk-in 2-sided 3D cave (unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of that cave), where you could literally walk around with a set of VR glasses and see everything in 3D (that was when there wasn't any Oculus Quest yet). That was useful for running industrial simulations.

+I was mainly working on drilling simulations on this machine. Sometimes I worked directly at one of the 2 terminal screens of the Onyx, or often I used a nearby Linux machine and forwarded the X11 windows to my local screen.
