Last week History created, The IIT, Madras has built very first Microprocessor chip. Its a Hallmark breakthrough for Indian Computing.
A group of engineers from the Institute has managed to develop and boot up first indigenously microprocessor for using mobile computing and wireless systems.
Accordingly, the statement from IIT, Madras, This New "SHAKTI" processor can be used in place of an imported processor as they are international standards and they were fabricated at Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Semiconductor Laboratory, Chandigarh. This is the RISC V microprocessor completely designed in India.
Another important part of this SHAKTI microprocessor is that it is less vulnerable to system infected from the back doors and hardware Trojans. Hence it can be used in government agencies, Defence and Nuclear Power.
Prof. Kamakoti said The 180nm Fabrication facility at SCL, Chandigarh is very crucial in getting these cores manufacturing within India.
The Shakti Processors allow for various clock speed for different application and also having power modes ideal for wireless application. The entire project was funded by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology. Now the truth is that India will not depend on Imported Processors.
