SHAKTI : INDIA’S FIRST MICROPROCESSOR BY STUDENTS OF IIT MADRAS
breaking news India is have been landed on the platform of micro processor so the India's going to make its first microprocessor which is going to be made by students of IIT Madras show the process of name is Shakti it is a good name and its really much like in Indian name like it so if you wanna know details about it I have given below show scroll down baby
(ALL THIS INFO HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM TECH BURN WEB PAGE)
What is Shakti Microprocessor?
Shakti means Power, Shakti is an open-source initiative by the RISE Group of IIT Madras. Shakti is based on RISC-V Architecture, We Will know about RISC-V Architecture in the later part. It has 3 classes of Cores namely E Class, C Class, and I Class for which the C Class is used in embedded applications like Robotic Controller Board and IoT Boards, while the C Class is used for Smartphone applications which are clocked at 1.5 GHz, and the I Class is a performance-oriented Core which could be used in Laptops, PC’s etc and is clocked at 2.5 GHz.
The Team has plans to develop more types but bot for the time being. They have plans to develop a Super Computer Class Core which will be called as Parallel Shakti or Para Shakti. These Chips could be used in ISRO’s and NavIC satellites in the future or on smartphones.
The C Class Cores would compete with ARM (ARM is the designer of the Chips inside the phones). Two types of C Class Processors have already been fabricated in which one is fabricated by Intel which is based on a 22nm process and is code names as ‘RISECREEK’ and the other is fabricated by Semi-Conductor Laboratory (Department of Space, Government of India) which is based on a 180nm Process and is Code names as ‘RIMO’
Why is Shakti Different?
It is different from other Microprocessors as it is based on RISC V (Reduced Instruction Set 5) Architecture. Processor architecture in simple terms means the language in which you communicate with the processor. RISC V is an Open Source initiative by the students of IIT Madras.
Why it cannot use Intel’s or ARM’s Architecture?
Let me Explain with an Example, Suppose you go to buy a car, but the car dealer says that he won’t sell you the car if you don’t buy a truck along with it, The same problem is here with Intel or ARM, we cannot choose what type of processor’s specific instructions, or a specific design we want to use , we have to buy them all together. Whatever they give we have to take it. but this problem doesn’t exist with RISC V, We can use RISC-V to make a custom chip design for our needs that is we can make custom designed chips, RISC-V Makers have their own startup called SciFive. The Startup coming out from IIT Madras will be called as InCore. Keep a note of that we will require it later
Indian Competitions of Shakti:
If you know about PARAM 8000, Indias First Supercomputer designed by a Company named CDAC (Center for development of Advanced Computing) run by a person named Vijay. This Company designs and manufactures supercomputers and researches on Advanced Computing. There is a rumor that CDAC is developing their own supercomputer which will support their own processor and chipset. So this would be a competition to Shakti.
ThTs for today okkie dokkie bye bye
