IRIX 6.2 was released in early 1996 for multiple SGI desktops. The 6.x series is based on late 5.x code with 64-bit support in the OS being its major killer app. IRIX 6.3 and 6.4 are special releases of 6.2 for the O2 and Octane, Origin2000/Onyx2 and Origin 200.

Changes

  • 64-bit kernel support and the new n32 ABI.
  • Removal of all 32-bit only IRIX platforms from the supported list (i.e. R2000 and R3000 systems).
