SGI Onyx3000 Graphics Workstations

The Onyx 3000 features the same modular archectecture as the Origin 3000 except that the Onyx 3000 adds a G-Brick or a V-Brick. The bricks that make up the archetecture are:

C-Brick for 2 or 4 cpus and up to 8memory

I-Brick IO including Fibre Channel, 100BaseT, etc

R-Brick router to connect everything together

P-Brick adds 12 PCI slots

D-Brick adds disk drives

G-Brick has up to 2 pipes of InfiniteReality series graphics

X-Brick has XIO slots for xio cards such as the Origin 2000 uses

V-Brick has 2 V12 Graphic boards

The system is very expandable up to 1024 processors and 100s of gigabytes of memory.
Processor start at 400MHz R14000 and go all the way up to 1GHz R16000
From 1GB to 32GB of main memory per system
NUMAlink2 architecture that scales as bricks are added, with 3200MB/sec bi-directional links
Each system is made up of at least a C-Brick, an I-Brick, and a G or V Brick.

The C-Brick provides the following:

2 PIMM ports to add processors 2 at a time

8 Memory slots for from 512MB to 8GB of memory

Console serial port

NUMAlink port

L1 port

XIO port

The I-Brick provides the following:

10/100BaseT ethernet that will do over 11MB/sec in both directions simultaneously

1 Fibre Channel port(takes up a PCI slot)

2 Fibre Channel hard drive slots

2 high speed serial ports each capable of 450Kbps

Real Time interrupt input and output ports

2 USB ports

2 XIO ports (can be chained to G or V brick)

CDROM

The G-Brick provides up to 2 pipes of InfiniteReality grapics. Each pipe needs a XIO connection from an I-Brick. The left pipe (lookin from the rear) can take 2 RMs(RM9, RM10, or RM11), and the right side can have up to 4 RasterManagers. A GE16 is the standard Geometry Engine, and the Display Generators are DG6-2, DG5-8, DG5-GVO and DG5-TVO
