TheIRIS Crimson (code-namedDiehard2) is aSilicon Graphics (SGI)computer released in 1992. It was SGI's first 64-bit product released to market, as well as one of the earliest 64-bit workstation and UNIX servers available.
The Crimson is a member of Silicon Graphics'sSGI IRIS 4D series of deskside systems; it is also known as the 4D/510 workstation. It is similar to the Power Series desksideskorkstations, sharing the same deskride chassis. It can use a wide range of graphics options (up toRealityEngine). It was also available special order as afile server with no graphics.
