TheRISC System/6000 is a family ofRISC-based (Reduced Instruction Set Computer-based)Unixservers,workstations andsupercomputers made byIBM in the 1990s. The RS/6000 family replaced theIBM RT PC computer platform in February 1990 and is the first computer line to see the use of IBM'sPOWER andPowerPC based microprocessors. In October 2000, the RS/6000 brand was retired for POWER-based servers and replaced by theeServer pSeries. Workstations continued under the RS/6000 brand until 2002, when new POWER/-based workstations were released under theIntelliStation POWER/ brand.

The RS/6000 floating-point execution unit (FPU) enabled major improvements in the speed an accuracy of floating-point operations. The key feature of the FPU was introducing the MAF (multiply-add fused) operation, which has since become standard in most modern processors.[1]

History

[edit]
AIX RS/6000servers runningibm.com in early 1998

The first RS/6000 models used the IBM StandardMicro Channel (SMC) bus; later models usedPCI. Some later models conformed to thePReP andCHRP standard platforms, which were co-developed withApple andMotorola, withOpen Firmware (OpenFW/OFW). The plan was to enable the RS/6000 to run multiple operating systems such asWindows NT,NetWare,OS/2,Solaris,Taligent,AIX andMac OS but in the end only IBM's Unix variant AIX was used and supported on RS/6000.Linux is widely used on CHRP based RS/6000s, but support was added after the RS/6000 name was changed to eServer pSeries in 2000.

The RS/6000 family also included thePOWERserver servers,POWERstation workstations andScalable POWERparallel supercomputer platform. While most machines were desktops, desksides, or rack-mounted, there were laptop models too. Famous RS/6000s include thePowerPC 604e-basedDeep Blue supercomputer that beat world championGarry Kasparov at chess in 1997, and thePOWER3-basedASCI White which was the fastest supercomputer in the world during 2000–2002.

Hardware

[edit]

Service processor

[edit]

Many RS/6000 and subsequentpSeries machines came with a service processor, which booted itself when power was applied and continuously ran its own firmware, independent of the operating system. The service processor could call a phone number (via a modem) in case of serious failure with the machine.[2] Early advertisements and documentation called the service processor "System Guard",[3] (or SystemGuard[4]) although this name was apparently dropped later on, roughly around the same time that the simplified RS/6000 name was adopted for the computer line itself.

Late in the RS/6000 cycle, the service processor was "converged" with the one used on the AS/400 machines.[5]

Software

[edit]

POWER machines typically ranAIX. Solaris, OS/2 and Windows NT were also ported to PowerPC. Later Linux was also used.

Some AIX systems supportIBM Web-based System Manager.

Models

[edit]

Some models were marketed under the RS/6000 POWERstation and POWERserver names.

Micro Channel-based lines

[edit]

The early lines were based on an IBM proprietaryMicro Channel architecture; the same architecture that was used in the high endPS/2 x86 desktop line. MCA-based lines were produced until 1999.

The Model N40 was a PowerPC-based laptop developed and manufactured byTadpole Technology in conjunction with IBM.[31] It was released on 25 March 1994, priced at US$12,000. The internal batteries could power the system for 45 minutes only and an external battery pack that lasted for 4 hours was available for this reason.[32]
