    Solution

    Recently Researchers from IISc Bangalore have developed an analog chipset “ARYABHATA-1”. ARYABHATTA-1 stands for “Analog Reconfigurable Technology and Bias-scalable Hardware for AI Tasks”. Such chipsets can be beneficial for applications based on Artificial Intelligence(AI) such as object or speech recognising apps including Alexa. It can also be beneficial for applications requiring very efficient parallel computations. Digital chips are used in many electronic devices, especially those that require computers because the design process is scalable and straightforward. These chipsets may operate faster. It will use less power as compared to digital processors used in different electronic gadgets. It has been designed by Pratik Kumar, who is a Ph.D. student at IISc.
