procesor MIPS



Úvod

MIPSTechnologyCorporationje výrobce vysoce výkonných, špičkových a vestavěných 32bitových a 64bitových procesorů a zaujímá důležitou pozici v RISC procesorech. PSse oddělil od SGIa stal se technologickou společností MIPS.

Společnost MIPS navrhla procesor RISC na počátku 80. let, uvedla na trh procesor R2000 v roce 1986, uvedla na trh procesor R3000 v roce 1988 a uvedla na trh první 64bitový mikroprocesor R4000 v roce 1991 94 (09. R1 později R10) 996) a R12000 (v roce 1997) byly úspěšně zavedeny.
