DHRUV64:
India unveiled its first fully indigenously developed microprocessor DHRUV64.
- It is a fully indigenously developed microprocessor.
- It is developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the Microprocessor Development Programme (MDP).
- Key Features of DHRUV64:
- Processor Core & Speed: It is a 64-bit dual-core processor running at 1.0 GHz, giving it the ability to handle multiple tasks smoothly.
- Execution Method: It uses superscalar execution, which allows the processor to start more than one instruction in the same moment for better speed.
- Instruction Handling: It supports out-of-order processing, meaning it can complete instructions that are ready first, improving overall efficiency.
- Packaging & Integration: It includes built-in communication and control functions inside an advanced FCBGA package, making the chip compact and ready for use in many systems.
- It is capable of supporting strategic and commercial applications.
- It is suitable for sectors such as 5G infrastructure, automotive systems, consumer electronics, industrial automation and the Internet of Things (IoT).
- It provides a homegrown microprocessor technology designed for startups, academia, and industry to build, test, and scale indigenous computing products without relying on foreign processors.
- It supports prototype development for new system architectures at lower cost.
