Is there a way to download the older version so you could run it on hardware without texturing? I didn't find it on the site...

I'm now using OpenGL for all the image processing which ties the software capabilities to the hardware, and unfortunately I don't think SGI graphics hardware is capable of processing HDR images (*). Floating point color values get clamped to 0.0-1.0, and there's no support for shaders which are needed for the OpenEXR color correction. I'd certainly be happy to be proven wrong though.
On a positive note, regular images fly on my Octane 2 system. Uncompressed Targa and DPX files can be mapped directly to OpenGL, so there's almost no overhead when loading them.
(*) At least the older SGI graphics hardware I have access to.
I'll try and update the blog page with this update sometime today.

Thanks,

V8/V12 = 128MB and V6/V10 = 32MB.
System Controller
Located just above the SCSI drive rack is an on/off key switch and the System Controller display panel. The System Controller is a microprocessor-controlled, battery-backed subsystem that is mounted directly to the system backplane. It monitors various system operations, including chassis temperature, system fan speed, backplane voltages, and the system clock. The battery backup supports only the System Controller's NVRAM and internal system clock.
When any operating parameter exceeds or drops past a specified limit, the System Controller can execute a controlled shutdown of the Onyx deskside system. During such a shutdown procedure, the System Controller maintains a log with the last error message(s) received before the shutdown.
Chapter 2 shows the location of the System Controller's front panel on the chassis. Figure 3-13 in Chapter 3 identifies its control buttons.
To understand and use the System Controller, see “Using the System Controller,” in Chapter 5

Yep, that's a pretty good one to start with too - an easy to read structured language based on Lisp. I can package Berkeley Logo 5.5 for IRIX if anyone wants to try it.
Does it support turtle graphics? This is fun info - I had no idea I had learned "an easy to read structured language based on Lisp." It's a toss up whether I encountered LOGO or BASIC first - really too long ago for me to remember much about either.

Does anybody remember the Jupiter Ace - it ran FORTH and looked a bit like a ZX80....?
I still have my Archimedes A305, it was the first machine that really made me go WOW... and I could do soooo much with 512K RAM (shared with graphics)...BBC basic was neat - you could mix assembler and basic..

Code: Select all
The following adds 50Mb of swap space to the system using a file in the
/swap directory:
/usr/sbin/mkfile 50m /swap/swap1
/sbin/swap -a /swap/swap1
To make this swap area permanent (automatically added at boot time) add
the following line to /etc/fstab:
/swap/swap1 swap swap pri=3 0 0

I just assumed that so long as I stuck to the ethernet protocol while using fiber I would be fine.

/etc/hosts
This is the file used for configuring NetFX Fibre Channel ports as IP interfaces. Each
local Fibre Channel port that we wish to use as an IP interface must have an entry in
/etc/hosts. The IP interface name must match the port's npname in /etc/NLPorts. Each
remote IP port can be defined either in /etc/hosts or by using a name service protocol such
as NIS or DNS. However, keep in mind that the name in the NIS or DNS maps must still
match the entry for that remote port in /etc/NLPorts.
