- The researchers from IIT Madras have designed India’s first indigenous microprocessor called ‘Shakti’.
- It is aimed at
- Developing industrial-grade microprocessors and other components of the microprocessor ecosystem.
- Reducing dependency on imported microchips and risk of cyber-attacks.
- It has been developed under project partly funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
- Its design originates from open source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), a set of basic instructions called RISC-V (Reduced Instruction Set Computer), which makes it customisable to any device.
- IIT-Madras researchers are now conducting research on ‘Parashakti’, an advanced microprocessor for supercomputers.
