IIT Delhi develops India's first indigenous micro Graphics Processing Unit

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi have designed country's first working, demonstrable indigenous micro Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), in a significant development that can reduce import dependence to a large extent, officials said on Thursday. According to officials, GPUs are widely used in modern hardware, including in AI and Machine Learning engines. Currently, all GPUs are imported. This is the first working, demonstrable indigenously designed micro-GPU from India, they said. The micro-GPU architecture developed by IIT Delhi researchers will enable indigenous graphics and display-processing systems for embedded applications. The researchers at the institute's Electrical Engineering department have demonstrated programmable graphics rendering using a custom floating point GPU engine implemented entirely in Register Transfer Language (RTL) and mapped to a Spartan-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. "The hardware architecture is a scalable

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday asked the industry to identify goods that can be manufactured in India to help reduce import dependence of those products. He also suggested increasing exports and buy goods manufactured in India, rather than importing them. Addressing domestic traders, he said, "You should keep an eye on what goods are being imported, you will see opportunities in that too, what things can be manufactured in India." Goyal urged stakeholders to study import trends through the commerce ministry's trade portal and identify opportunities for domestic manufacturing and import substitution.

"This year's target is USD 1 trillion. This is a big target. We have to work together for this," Goyal said, adding that the industry should focus on quality, improving competitiveness a
