<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The last version of chimera that ran on
IRIX was version 1.3 from December 2008 since IRIX computers
stopped being made at the end of 2006. That Chimera only uses one
CPU.<br>
<br>
FYI, it is probably time to replace your IRIX computer for running
Chimera. The graphics on a modern PC is faster both
computationally and graphically than those IRIX computers and is
much cheaper to maintain. And the latest version of Chimera,
1.8.1, is much better than the 2008 version.<br>
<br>
If you had asked this question in 2006, we would have recommended
the 700Mhz SGI Fuel system, but either system would have been
excellent. But today the recommendation is to junk the SGI
systems and get a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X system.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I couldn't find any information on the subject, and
have no hardware to test at the moment, but for a future
deployment I need to work with IRIX systems, and I was wondering
if chimera is coded to take advantage of multiple MIPS CPUs, or
is it strictly a CPU-bound application?<br>
<br>
ie: would it run better on a dual-cpu octane system at 600mhz,
or a 700mhz uni-processor fuel system? ( or something along this
line )<br>
