Shakti Microprocessor
Context
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have successfully developed an indigenous aerospace quality semiconductor chip based on the Shakti microprocessor.
About the Shakti Microprocessor:
- Shakti is built on the RISC-V architecture, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) used for designing custom processors.
- The Shakti class systems are part of India's initiative to develop microprocessor-based products with high security and visibility for users adopting RISC-V technology.
- The Shakti-based RISC-V controller is designed for space applications but is also applicable to various sectors, including IoT and computer systems with strategic needs.
- The project is a part of the broader Digital India RISC-V initiative (DIRV), backed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The initiative aims to promote the indigenous development of microprocessor technologies in India.
