IRIX: History, Standards & Companies

IRIX (/ˈaɪrɪks/, EYE-ricks, a portmanteau of IRIS and UNIX) is a discontinued operating system developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) to run on the company's proprietary MIPS workstations and servers. It is based on UNIX System V with BSD extensions. The XFS file system and the now industry-standard OpenGL graphics API were originally developed by SGI for IRIX.
