Technical details

IRIX (short for IRIS UNIX, originally called 4D1) was a System V UNIX-based operating system with 4.2BSD extensions, originally developed by Silicon Graphics Computer Systems in 1988 for its line of MIPS-based computers. It replaced GL2 (also known as the IRIS Workstation Software Distribution), which was used on their previous line of MC68000-based machines, and a third-party UNIX-based OS known as UMIPS or RISC/os (not to be confused with Acorn's RISC OS).

IRIX is especially famous for its strong support for symmetric multiprocessing, 3D graphics, video, and high-bandwidth data transfer; SGI machines saw common use in Hollywood special effects, video game development, scientific visualization, and AI research. It was also notable for being one of the first UNIX-based OSes to feature a GUI as default, shipping with the 4Dwm window manager and a custom Motif-designed desktop environment.

Character details

Physical

IRIX-tan is depicted as a woman of average height, light build, and medium endowment. She has long blue hair, which is usually swept into an elaborate, and elaborately decorated, updo. Her usual dress is equally outlandish: a blue gown with a deep V-neck bodice, huge collar, cape, and wide skirt, which is accentuated with metallic geometric jewelry and large, near-opaque shades styled somewhat like a domino masque.
