New Delhi, Sept. 24 -- Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are widely used in modern hardware, including in AI and Machine Learning engines.

Currently, all GPUs are imported. In a significant development that can reduce import dependence to a large extent, researchers at IIT Delhi's Electrical Engineering Department have designed the country's first working, demonstrable indigenous micro-GPU.

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first working, demonstrable indigenously designed micro-GPU from a university in India," the researchers stated.

The micro-GPU architecture developed by IIT Delhi researchers will enable indigenous graphics and display-processing systems for embedded applications.

The project, led by M Tech students Nammi A...
