From Higher Intellect Vintage Wiki
The new hardware features implemented by IRIX 6.5.4m are:[edit]
- 270 Mhz processor for Silicon Graphics® O2® and Silicon Graphics® Octane®
- HDTV XIO Board for Silicon Graphics® Onyx2™, SGI™ Origin® 2000
The software enhancements delivered by IRIX 6.5.4m are:[edit]
- Support for the Miser queue repack policy. When a job finishes execution prior to the end of its schedule, the system resources it was using are released. This policy attempts to reschedule the jobs using earlier start and end times in order to take advantage of these released system resources. The order of the scheduled jobs will be maintained. This feature can be used by all Miser users running IRIX 6.5.4m or f.
