With the right motivation, even a Sophomore can do wonders - Please join me in congratulating one of VSD+EICT IITG interns Shruti Prakash Gupta , a Second Year Student from Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar , who successfully completed 1-month internship on "Study of Open POWER ISA Soft-Core Processor Chiselwatt and POWER 9 Functional Simulator"

All she had was an immense amount of self-drive to take up a challenge and solve it. Not only did she studied Chiselwatt repository, but she also cleaned up whole software stack for POWER 9 Functional simulator, so that now anyone looking to work on Open POWER ISA, can just read her paper and start-up. All of it in just 30-days, on cloud and from home

Many top institutes face this challenge of how an internship can be done online from home, but Shruti Prakash Gupta (and 55 other interns who are working with VSD+EICT IITG) just proved everyone wrong

A special vote of Thanks to Ganesan Narayanasamy from IBM who got us the right information at right time and always on tip of toes to help. You never know, 5-6 years down the line, VSD might have entire line of workshop on Chiselwatt SoC design

This was part of Special project with OpenPOWER academia and research.

Stay tuned here for full paper
