The Ardent Computer Corporation was a graphics minicomputer manufacturing company. They were one of a very few 3rd parties to base their designs on the MIPS CPUs and the associated MIPS OS. The systems also used the Intel i860 as graphics co-processors. The company went through a series of mergers and re-organizations and changed names several times as their venture capital funders attempted to find a market niche for their "graphics supercomputers". After a series of machines that were not particularly successful in the marketplace, they used parts of their design to create graphics subsystems for other workstations, notably DEC machines, but eventually shut down completely in February 1995.
