Flame machine

#1

Hello,

What machine Discreet Flame running in? Could you give me some informations about chip, mother-boards, HD, what monitor, I/O…

Thanx

discreet flame runs on an SGI Octane or Octane2. Chips are usually MIPS processors. Motherboards are proprietary… HDs are usually RAIDed SCSI drives called discreet ‘stones’. Monitors can vary, and I/O is usually a proprietary dedicated 601 or HD card.

Hi Aruna,

Thanx…

But, which does MIPS processor Flame needs to run? I am talking about velocity…
What does monitor Octane could work?

best regards

A little search on ebay finds this.

You can get dual MIPS R10K 250 that would run flame. It will also run on a single MIPS R10K 195 if you’re so inclined. I think the biggest thing is the hardware graphics, which I ‘think’ should be MXE graphics on Octane… The newest version of flame though (flame 8) will only run on Octane2 with V12 graphics, if I remember correctly. I would seriously run the requirements by Discreet just to make sure. There’s also a minimum IRIX requirement for the OS, which I’m not sure about… Maybe 6.5 for flame 7 and below?

Any old SGI monitor will work, as long as it as a DB13W3 connector.
