Subject: -5- What is my old SGI machine worth?
Date: 27 Jun 1996 00:00:01 EST
Thanks to Thomas Sippel-Dau <cmaae47@imperial.ac.uk> for this
summary:
Since computer technology has been improving so rapidly, this is
difficult to answer generally. But you can take the following
approches to get somewhere near a realistic estimate.
1. The Book Value.
This assumes the computer is an investment object which is written
down over a certain time. At the end of this time it is assumed that
the residual value will pay for scrapping the object, so you do not
have to pay someone to take it away. About 5 years seems reasonable
for computers.
Value the current value
Price the original price
n the age of the machine in months
p depreciation rate 1.6% (for 62.5 months useful life)
1.1 Linear method: Value = Price * ( 1 - n * p )
1.2 Degressive method: Value = Price * ( 1 - 2 * p ) ** n
In the first 4 years the degressive method will give lower values.
Once the degressive monthly depreciation is lower than the linear
one, you should sell the machine and buy a new one, otherwise you pay
more tax than you need to (talk to your accountants first, they
should know the exact depreciation rate and method).
2. Comparative method.
Get the new price of a similar current machine. Multiply the current
price by any usefulness multipliers. For example:
An Indigo R3000 server costs $8000 (N.B. NOT the real price)
An Iris 4D/25 is about half the speed of it
Then the current value of the 4D/25 cannot be more than $4000
regardless of what the book value says.
For this you must strip or enhance the machine to a current standard.
Say you take the price of an Indigo with 432 disk Mbyte and 16 Mbyte
memory to assess the residual value of a 4D/25 with eight Mbyte
memory and 330 Mbyte hard disk. You will arrive at the price after
you have upgraded the the 4D/25 to 16 Mbyte.
Since both machines are not very useful (stand alone) with so little
disk space, you can allow for the difference in disk space when you
calculate the price of the whole running system.
For this method the old system must be able to run current software
usefully. A system that does not run current software has no value,
but see below.
You should also take account of the maintenance cost for about three
years, which is when a system you buy now would be due for
replacement according to the book value method.
3. Components and options.
You can view the system as an assembly of useful parts, such as
monitor, keyboard, disk drives, system box, electronics module. If
you have extra memory or disks (over and above the currently useful
minimum), you can value them at about 80% of the price you currently
have to pay third party suppliers.
4. Residual use value.
If you can find a dedicated use for an old general purpose machine,
then this could give you a final number. However, you need to allow
for any work you have to put in to get to that state, and to keep the
system there. You will also find that only reasonably large
organisations have such dedicated uses.
Finally, a word about maintenance:
If you have one system only, and you cannot afford to lose it, you
need to take maintenance, regardless of how much it is. From about 5
systems you can save yourself maintenance if you can afford to lose
the odd system and load its uses onto the remaining ones. But
remember that rescheduling people often meets resistance, and keeping
people idle because of a system failure is extremely expensive.

FAQ", cited in the misc FAQ.

Subject: -6- What about my IRIS 2000 or 3000?
Date: 20 Jul 1996 00:00:01 EST
See the IRIS 2000/3000 mailing list and FAQ (cited in the misc FAQ,
the latter under "What are some related network-accessible
documents?") and ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/hardware/4Dxx0.
------------------------------
Subject: -7- Should I shut off my Iris at night?
Date: 01 Jul 1994 00:00:01 EST
(Home users often ask this.) No, you should not. The hardware is
designed for continuous use, and IRIX schedules cleanup tasks for the
early morning. (See the cron(1M) and crontab(1) manpages and the
files in /usr/spool/cron.) Disks, tapes, CD-ROMs etc. consume little
power when idle and should NEVER be turned off or on (or connected or
disconnected) when the system is running.
However, turning off your *monitor* will save power and prolong its
life.
------------------------------
Subject: -8- How fast is my R4000 or R4400 machine?
Date: 27 Jan 1996 00:00:01 EST
Eric Williams <williams@agomoda.asd.sgi.com> reveals all:
It is confusing to spec the clock frequency for the R4000 and R4400
because they are so flexible. There are four interesting numbers:
- internal clock
- external clock
- secondary cache access cycle
- SYSINT frequency
Let's start by specifying the processor internal frequency. e.g. 150
MHz. All other frequencies are specified with respect to this one.
For programs that get good primary cache hit rates this number will
determine the performance.
The clock input to the R4400 (i.e. the crystal you buy) is always
half the internal frequency. In this case 75 MHz. This is generally
the number used by the chip manufacturers, to specify the speed of
the part. However from a system point of view, it is the least
visible to the user, and therefore IMHO the least interesting.
The secondary cache read and write access cycles are programmable in
terms the internal clock frequency (e.g. 150 MHz cycles). This
allows you to trade off the cost/speed of secondary cache rams with
system performance. When upgrading from 100 MHz to 150 MHz you can
either keep the same rams and increase the SCache access cycle or
install faster rams and keep the number of cycles constant. The
first option keeps the cost to a minimum while the second maximizes
performance.
Finally the interface that talks to the system (SYSINT) can run at a
programmable fraction (1/2, 1/3, ...) of the internal frequency. For
the example 150 MHz processor, this could be 75 MHz, 50 MHz, etc.
This puts an upper limit on the bandwidth to memory and affects some
latency parameters. Typically you would program the system interface
to run synchronously with the memory controller.
From what I've heard here about the Indy R4400 upgrade (I'm not
involved with it) I think you could say the following:
- the internal clock (primary cache, instruction execution, etc)
increases from 100 MHz to 150 MHz
- the clock crystal increases from 50 MHz to 75 MHz
- the secondary cache access times stays the same in absolute
terms (but increases in terms of internal clock cycles)
- the system interface to memory stays at 50 MHz (100 MHz div 2, vs.
150 MHz div 3)
BTW, the Indy upgrade example illustrates why IMHO the 75 MHz
external frequency of the R4400 is not an interesting number to
quote. Performance of real programs will be determined by the
internal 150 MHz clock, the secondary cache timing and the system
interface/memory speed, not the 75 MHz external clock.
The Jan/Feb 1996 Pipeline has a table of Indigo, Indy and Indigo^2
processor types and the versions of IRIX which support them.
------------------------------
Subject: -9- What is the IP number of each SGI model?
Date: 04 Jul 1996 00:00:01 EST
There are two different IP numbers, one referring to the hardware and
one to the software (kernel configuration). The latter is what you
see when you type 'hinv'. Here is a table of both numbers:
HW IP SW IP Model CPU Speed
----- ----- -------------------- ----- -----------
IP2 IP2 IRIS 3000 68020
IP4 IP4 4D/50, 4D/70 R2000 12.5MHz
IP4.5 IP4.5 4D/80, 4D/85 R2000 16MHz
4D/60 R2300
IP5 IP5 4D/1x0 R3000 16.7MHz
IP6 IP6 4D/20 R3000 12.5MHz
IP10 IP6 4D/25 R3000 20MHz
IP7 IP7 4D/2x0 R3000 25MHz
IP9 IP9 4D/210 R3000 25MHz
IP13 IP7 4D/3x0 R3000 33MHz
IP15 IP7 4D/4x0 R3000 40MHz
IP12 IP12 4D/30, 4D/35, Indigo R3000 30-36MHz
IP17 IP17 Crimson R4x00 50 or 75MHz
IP19 IP19 Onyx, Challenge R4x00 50 or 75MHz
IP20 IP20 Indigo R4000 R4x00 50 or 75MHz
IP22 IP22 Indigo2 R4x00 50 or 75MHz
IP24 IP22 Indy R4x00 50 or 75MHz
IP25 R10000 200 MHz
IP26 Challenge R8000 75 MHz
The missing numbers were used for machines that were not released.
R4x00 machines can be 50 MHz R4000s or 75Mhz R4400s. 'hinv' reports
twice that in recent versions of IRIX; see the previous question for
an explanation. We use the smaller number here for consistency.

See http://www.sgi.com/Archive/comp.sys.sgi/audio/1994/Aug/0082.html
for more details on audio on VME machines.
It is not certain that VGR2 graphics is {IP6,IP12} "B" series.
The 4D50 thru 4D85 have an audio channel, but there is no
documentation on it and there is no SGI or third party support for it.
SGI does not seem to have discussed it at all in the newsgroups.
XSM graphics seems to be quite rare. Elan without a Z buffer? The
newsgroups have mentioned it only once, but I have one so I'm sure it
exists.
The high-end graphics list is probably incomplete.
Slashes usually indicate points I'm not entirely clear on. For example
I'm unclear on whether Skywriter graphics is different than VGTX.

Subject: -11- What OS versions are supported on which platforms?
Date: 20 Dec 1996 00:00:01 EST
Walter Roberson <roberson@hamer.ibd.nrc.ca> contributes the following
list:
Here's a first draft of a table, based mostly on material that has
appeared in Pipeline. Details up to IRIX 3.3 are largely lost in the
mists of time, as are details about when various platforms went out
of service.
Note: Names with '+' should not be broken up into components. For
example, IRIX 3.3+3.3.2 is distinct from IRIX 3.3 and from IRIX
3.3.2, and indicates IRIX 3.3 with a maintenance release (what would
now be called a roll-up patch.)
Note: IRIX 4.0.1T, IRIX 4.0.4T, IRIX 4.0.5IPR, and IRIX 5.3+5.3 TIRIX
are Trusted IRIX releases, not general IRIX releases.
Note: IRIX 5.2 and 5.3 releases are sometimes very hardware
specific. The last release listed is not necessarily the last or
best release for all hardware.
IRIS 1000, 1200, 1400: Terminals, no user-accessible OS.
IRIS 2300, 2400, 2400T, 2500, 2500T, 3000, 3010, 3020, 3030, 3100,
