India's Rise in Processor Manufacturing

Описание: 📱 Phones, laptops, computers – they all rely on a tiny yet critical component called the processor!

🌎 For years, Taiwan, the USA, South Korea, and China have dominated the global processor market. But now, India is stepping up to the challenge!

🧠 SHAKTI, an open-source initiative by IIT Madras' RISE group, is paving the way for India's first industrial-grade processor!

🚀 Launched in 2014 with support from the Indian government under Meity, SHAKTI is a bold step towards self-reliance in the semiconductor industry.

⚙️ Developing processors is a complex and expensive endeavor, where even the smallest error can derail an entire project.

🎯 Despite the challenges, SHAKTI's vision is clear: to create a family of processors catering to the diverse needs of the market.

📡 SHAKTI microprocessors hold the potential to power low-power wireless systems and networking infrastructure, reducing India's dependence on imported microprocessors, especially in defense and communication sectors.

🛡️ The development of indigenous processors like SHAKTI is crucial for safeguarding our devices from hardware trojans that could compromise their security.
