Meanwhile, a group of Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) released a software development kit (SDK) prior to the launch of SHAKTI. “If SHAKTI is released, IIT Madras research team RISE is confident that it will cut into Intel and ARM's castles with open source customization and low prices.”
One of the features of SHAKTI is that it supports six classes that fit a variety of hardware. The SHAKTI family includes low power consumption 'E-class', 'C-class' that is a middle-range CPU, 'I-class' for mobile devices, and 'M-class' workstation that supports up to 8 cores of multi-core There is an extended version “S class” of I class for servers and servers and “H class” for high-end models.
Lucian Armasu of the technical information site Tom's Hardware said, 'India is now focusing on designing and developing processors of its own, not as American manufacturers like China and the EU rely on CPUs.' And stated the outlook for electronics in India.
