IIT-M develops indigenous microprocessor
The HinduIndian Institute of Technology Madras researchers have booted up a microprocessor ‘Moushik’. V. Kamakoti, one of the members of the Reconfigurable Intelligent Systems Engineering group at the CSE department, said the three steps in the making of a microprocessor such as design, fabrication and post-silicon boot-up were taken up in India. “The design of the microprocessor, motherboard printed circuit board design, assembly and post-silicon boot-up were done at IIT Madras. The field application of Moushik includes smart cards, such as credit and debit cards; ID cards; travel cards for Metros and driving licences; electronic voting machines; office management systems including attendance, surveillance cameras and safe locks; personalised health management systems; consumer electronics, including washing machines and water pump monitoring systems. The indigenous microprocessor built to international standards, reduces dependence on other countries and as it is open source the design can be picked up by start ups and customised to their needs.
