29-625: IDT was the first company to fabricate and ship the R4600. IDT produced first silicon in August 1993. The first part was a 100 MHz part announced in October 1993. In March 1994 at CeBIT , IDT announced a 133 MHz part. Both were fabricated in a 0.65 μm CMOS process and required a 5 V power supply. NKK announced their version of the R4600, the NR4600, in the middle of 1994. The first NR4600

58-415: A 32-cycle latency and throughput for 32-bit integers and a 61-cycle latency and throughput for 64-bit integers. The FPU was not pipelined to save die area and thus cost. This characteristic severely restricted the R4600's floating-point performance, but did not impede its success in low-end computers or embedded applications where integer performance was more important. Single and double precision adds have

87-413: A four-cycle latency and throughput. Single and double precision multiplies are partially pipelined and have an eight-cycle latency and a six-cycle throughput. Single precision divides have a 32-cycle latency and throughput whereas double precision division have a 61-cycle latency and throughput. Square roots have a latency and throughput is one cycle less than comparative divide instructions. The R4600 uses

The tradition of fairs taking place in spring and autumn has been preserved in some cases until today. From the late eighteenth century, industrial exhibitions in Europe and North America became more common reflecting the technological dynamism of

203-426: Is an exhibition organized so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services, meet with industry partners and customers , study activities of competitors, and examine recent market trends and opportunities . In contrast to consumer shows, only some trade shows are open to the public, while others can only be attended by company representatives (members of

232-499: The Industrial Revolution . In the late 19th century, the concept of annual industry-wide trade shows gained traction, spreading from European manufacturing centers to North America. By the 20th century, specialized companies came into existence simply to manage the trade-show industry, and permanent trade show grounds or convention centres were established as venues that featured a rotating calendar of trade shows. In

261-418: The supply chain , as well as potential suppliers and potential buyers. Generally there will be a central trade show floor with booths where people exhibit their goods or services, and throughout the day there will be seminars for continuing education on matters relevant to the industry, like best practices, trends, and regulation. There will also be some shared meals with keynote speakers, and social events in

290-563: The 21st century, with the rapid industrialization of Asia , trade shows and exhibitions are now commonplace throughout the Asian continent, with China dominating the exhibitions industry in Asia, accounting for more than 55 per cent of all space sold in the region in 2011. Trade shows play important roles in marketing as well as business networking in market sectors that use them. People will seek to meet people and companies at their own level in

348-602: The CeBIT sponsor Deutsche Messe AG ("German Trade Show, Inc.") has organized trade shows outside of Germany bearing the CeBIT name: Running over a five-day period in Hanover , Germany , the CeBIT Global Conferences (CGC) are staged congruently with the CeBIT exhibition. The conferences are dedicated to providing a 360° overview of the digital industry's four core markets: IT, Telecommunications, Digital Media and Consumer Electronics. Noted industry figures and researchers from across

377-677: The SysAD bus and was shared with the external interface. The SysAD bus is 64 bits wide and can operate at clock rates up to 50 MHz for a peak bandwidth of 400 MB/s. The R4600's external interface did not support multiprocessing . The R4600 needs to be supplied with three clock signals to generate the various clocks. SGI offered a reference design in the form of the UltraP module, aimed at OEMs , permitting R4600 and R4400 processors to work in systems designed for Intel's Pentium processor by employing bus translation logic. As originally announced,

406-547: The WebTV Plus boxes before WebTV Networks switched to RM5230 processors circa late 1998. Around the same time, Classic boxes also started being manufactured with R4640 processors from NKK instead of IDT. The R4700, also code-named "Orion", was a derivative of the R4600 ported to a 0.5 μm CMOS process. The R4700 was available in 100, 133, 150, 175 and 200 MHz versions. The RV4700 has reduced supply voltage of 3.3 V instead of 5.0 V. CeBIT CeBIT

435-551: The evenings. Booths range from simple tables to elaborate constructions. Trade shows often involve a considerable investment in time and money by participating companies. The planning includes arranging meetings with other attendees beforehand and resources to follow up on opportunities that are created at the show. Costs include space rental, booth design and construction of trade show displays, telecommunications, travel, accommodations, and promotional literature and items to give to attendees. In addition, costs are incurred at

464-497: The fair acted as the World Championship (Grand Final) of Intel Extreme Masters . The championship was reallocated to Katowice , Poland in 2014. On 28 November 2018, Deutsche Messe AG announced that due to declining visitor and exhibitioner attendance, CeBIT would be canceled for the foreseeable future. This makes CeBIT 2018 the final event. As CeBIT continued to grow quickly and was becoming too big on its own, it

493-419: The floating-point unit to perform not only floating-point multiply and divide, but also integer multiply and divide. The R4600 had 16 kB two-way set-associative caches for instructions and data. It supported an L2 cache, but has no on-die hardware to control it, requiring external logic, whether it be a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or chipset, to the cache. The cache resided on

522-524: The globe are invited to speak on the latest relevant trends and innovations as well as their impact on society and the working world. The conference is divided up into keynote speeches, talks and panel discussions. The CGC conferences are produced by Deutsche Messe AG, with the German BITKOM association acting as the CGC patron since 2009. In 2014, the CGC were staged with 140 speakers on three stages with

551-696: The globe. For example, in the U.S., there are currently over 10,000 trade shows held every year, and several online directories have been established to help organizers, attendees, and marketers identify appropriate events. Modern trade shows follow in the tradition of trade fairs established in late medieval Europe such as the Champagne fairs or the Skåne Market , in the era of merchant capitalism . In this era, produce and craft producers visited towns for trading fairs, to sell and showcase products. These markets were held annually or on several specific days

580-455: The module featured both Pentium and R4600 processors, with the Pentium used for initialisation and booting to DOS, and then either the Pentium or R4600 being selected to run an operating system. Subsequent versions were to offer switching between concurrently running operating systems. The R4650 was a derivative of the R4600 announced on 19 October 1994. It had custom instructions for improving

609-604: The performance of fixed-point digital signal processing (DSP) applications. A lower cost version of the R4650, the R4640, was announced on 27 November 1995. It had a 32-bit, instead of a 64-bit, external interface. On 16 September 1997, 150 and 180 MHz versions of both microprocessors were introduced. In quantities of 10,000, the 150 and 180 MHz R4640s were priced at $ 30 and $ 39 each, respectively. The 150 and 180 MHz R4650s were priced at $ 60 and $ 74, respectively. The R4650

638-484: The trade, e.g. professionals ) and members of the press , therefore trade shows are classified as either "public" or "trade only". A few shows are hybrids of the two; one example is the Frankfurt Book Fair , which is trade only for its first three days and open to the general public on its final two days. They are held on a continuing basis in virtually all markets and normally attract companies from around

667-478: Was a computer expo which, at its peak , was the largest and most internationally representative. The trade fair was held each year on the Hanover fairground , the world's largest fairground, in Hanover , Germany. In its day, it was considered a barometer of current trends and a measure of the state of the art in information technology . It was organized by Deutsche Messe AG . With an exhibition area of roughly 450,000 m (4.8 million sq ft) and

696-457: Was a 100 MHz part fabricated in a 0.5 μm process that used a 3.3 V power supply. The R4600 was a simple design; it was a scalar processor , issuing up to one instruction per cycle to its integer pipeline or floating-point unit (FPU). Most integer instructions have a single cycle latency and throughput, except for multiplies and divides. Multiplies, 32-bit and 64-bit, have an eight-cycle latency and six-cycle throughput. Divides have

725-970: Was a platform for recognising achievement by ICT businesses, particularly in Australia. The awards include the Excellence in Communications Award, the Advanced Retail Technology Award, the Innovative IT Security Award, and the Early Innovators Award.

754-471: Was also available in 133 and 167 MHz speeds. These versions of the R4600 processor were used in some arcade games produced by Namco (for example Time Crisis II running on Namco's System 23 hardware). The R4640 was used by WebTV Networks for their WebTV thin clients for the first couple years of its life. R4640 CPUs manufactured by IDT were use in the original WebTV Classic boxes manufactured by Sony and Philips Magnavox in 1996, as well as most of

783-564: Was decided to concentrate on the professional market, while the home and entertainment market was given a separate show, CeBIT Home , during summer, planned to be biennial. However, after being held twice (in 1996 and 1998), the 2000 CeBIT Home (had originally been scheduled to be held in Leipzig due to the Expo 2000 being held in Hanover) was cancelled and the project was abandoned. Since 1999

812-629: Was held four weeks earlier than the main Hanover Fair. The number of visitors for the new exhibition increased to 830,000 in 2001, but by 2007 the CeBIT expo attendance had shrunk to around 200,000, then attendance rebounded to 334,000 by 2010. The 2008 expo was marred by police raids of 51 exhibitors for patent infringement . In 2009, the U.S. state of California became official Partner State of Germany's IT and telecommunications industry association, BITKOM, and of CeBIT 2009. focusing on environmentally-friendly technologies. From 2007 till 2013,

841-499: Was traditionally the computing part of the Hanover Fair , a big industry trade show held every year. It was established in 1970, with the opening of the Hanover fairground 's new Hall 1, then the largest exhibition hall in the world. However, in the 1980s the information technology and telecommunications part was straining the resources of the trade fair so much that it was given a separate trade show starting in 1986, which
