Hi
Vision - For last 4-years (before pandemic), VLSI System Design (aka VSD) had tough time explaining power of cloud based hardware design programs using commercial tools
Reality - Fast-forward today, a Big Thanks to Synopsys Inc , Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad and semiconductor student community, we designed 248 circuits in span of 2-weeks. Unbelievable. Some of them, if nurtured well, has a potential to go to next level
During today's closing ceremony, all participants and organizers had a different belief system for student community who were largely ignored (due to lack of experience in industry), that this community has a huge potential for nation building and be the torch bearer of future chip design industry. Everyone was proud about doing their bit for their nation and everyone
was excited about the future
Its time to take cloud based hardware design hackathon at much global level and providing chip design platform for bright talents in rural and tier2/3 cities, thereby creating jobs and opportunities for much needed semiconductor industry globally. Read blog for more details
TIME TO MAKE HARDWARE COOL AGAIN
