Source: The post is based on the article “Explained: What is ARYABHAT-1, Developed-In-India chipsets that help AI apps run better and faster” published in Firstpost on 7th July 2022
What is the News?
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science or IISc have developed an analogue chipset called ARYABHAT-1.
What is ARYABHAT-1?
Full-Form: ARYABHAT-1 stands for Analog Reconfigurable Technology and Bias-scalable Hardware for AI Tasks.
Purpose: It is an analog chipset that will allow Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning apps to perform much better and faster.
Uses: This chipset is especially helpful for AI-based applications which deal with object or speech recognition systems, like Alexa or Siri.They are also very useful in operations that require massive parallel computing at high speeds.
What is the significance of this development?
Most computing devices, be it cellphones, laptops or desktop computers use digital chips because the design process is simple and easily scalable.
However, the advantage of analogue is huge. For instance, in applications that don’t require precise calculations, analogue computing has the potential to outperform digital computing as the former is more energy-efficient.
