<span>For nostalgia, I've kept this output of the 'dmesg' around. It's from an SGI Onyx 3200 graphics supercomputer running IRIX with the following specs:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>4 x 400 MHz IP35 MIPS CPUs</li>
<li>4GB of RAM</li>
</ul><br />

<br />
<span>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.</span><br />

<span>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.</span><br />
