Introducing The Vaporous MIPS Hypervisor!

+ Native hypervisor for virtual MIPS (R3000, R4600, R16000) on x86_64 workstation hardware.
+ Uses dynamic binary translation x86->MIPS/x86_64->MIPS64 to provide emulated MIPS target.
+ Once booted, everything uses the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture which is now open source.
+ Currently emulates the Indigo for our 32-bit virtual hardware platform (R4k, R3k).
+ Featuring the emulated Origin 3000 target for the 64-bit virtual platform (R16k only).
+ Support for higher-than-stock vCPU frequencies.
+ SMP support for up to 2048 MIPS vCPUs.
+ x86_64 CPU SMP-congruent MIPS instruction-level parallelization for blazing performance.
+ Known good with IRIX 5.x and 6.x series operating systems.
+ Drivers for the Creative Labs emu10k series PCI audio cards for IRIX.
+ Expanded memory patch to use up to 24GB of graphics memory in native IRIX libraries.
+ OpenGL hardware 3D & Xvideo support for Radeon, Nvidia, and Intel chipsets.
+ V12 and Elan virtual-framebuffers.
+ Virtualized NIC drivers for up to 10GBE even on older model IRIX virtual network interfaces.
+ Native pass through for hardware PCI and PCI-X cards.
+ Expanded USB 3.0 XHCI drivers including mass storage drivers for IRIX pass through to hardware.
+ Pass through Firewire 1384 drivers for IRIX digital video I/O libraries.
+ Comes with ReAnimator Pro. IRIX installation media on repackaged USB-based MOTIF installer.
+ Remote console shows the PROM monitor over VNC via embedded software virtual lights-out (LOM).
+ IRIX-friendly SIMD (SSE2) accelerated JPEG libraries included for IRIX.


Yeah, I wished. Happy April 1st.
