C-DAC Advances India's Tech Sovereignty with Indigenous Processors
C-DAC is a big tech organization in India that is working on making India self-reliant in high-tech computing and electronics.
They are developing their own processors and working on important technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing.
They have created processors called VEGA and are planning to launch a new one called AUM by 2027.
They are also working on AI solutions for different sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and governance.
Their goal is to make India a leader in technology by 2047.
C-DAC is developing indigenous high-performance computing technologies and microprocessors to support India's self-reliance.
The organization has created the VEGA series of processors based on the open-source RISC-V ISA.
C-DAC is working on the AUM processor, a 96-core dual-chiplet SoC, with samples expected by early 2027.
They are deploying AI solutions across various sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, and governance.
C-DAC is also pioneering the adoption of permissioned blockchain through the National Blockchain Framework (NBF).
