 A significant advancement in semiconductor technology has been made by the Indian Space Research Organization ( ISRO ) and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras ( IIT Madras ). They have developed and successfully tested IRIS (Indigenous RISCV Controller for Space Applications), a SHAKTI -based semiconductor chip of aerospace quality. This development was part of the effort to indigenize semiconductors used by ISRO for its applications, Command and Control Systems and other critical functions aligning with its march towards ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ in Space Technologies. The SHAKTI microprocessor project is led by Prof. V. Kamakoti at Prathap Subrahmanyam Centre for Digital Intelligence and Secure Hardware Architecture ( PSCDISHA ) in Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Madras. The SHAKTI class of systems are based on RISC-V , an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), for designing custom processors. ‘SHAKTI’ is backed by Ministry of Electronics and Info...

Web 2.0

-

We all know that a new era of internet is coming i.e Web 3.0. But before knowing about it we should know what is web 2.0 and how it's affecting our present day to day life.


Web 2.0 describes the current state of the internet, which has more user-generated content and usability for end- users compared to its earlier incarnation, Web 1.0. Web 2.0 generally refers to the 21st-century Internet applications that have transformed the digital era in the aftermath of the dotcom bubble

Web 1.0 was the first version of World wide web, Its evolution took placefrom roughly 1989 to 2004. Personal web pages were common, consisting mainly of static pages hosted on ISP run web servers, or on free web hosting services such as Tripod and the now-defunct GeoCities With Web 2.0, it became common for average web users to have social-networking profiles (on sites such as Myspace and Facebook) and personal blogs (sites like Blogger, Tumblr and LiveJournal) through either a low cost web hosting service or through a dedicated host In general, content was generated dynamically allowing readers to comment directly on pages in a way that was not common previously

Some Web 2.0 capabilities were present in the days of Web 1.0, but were implemented differently For example, a Web 1.0 site may have had a guestbook page for visitor comments instead of a comment section at the end of each page (typical of Web 2.0),



The term "Web 2.0" was coined by Darcy DiNucci, an information architecture consultant, in her January 1999 article "Fragmented Future"
The arrival of Web 2.0 has added many new features to the web applications; it has revolutionized the information sharing, user-oriented design, interoperability on the Internet This has provided information sharing in a way that was never dreamed about few years ego

Web 2.0 provides a much independent solution to interact or commute thoughts with each other through the various online social media's. There are many Web 2.0 sites which have made the online information exchange very users interactive like: blogs, wikis, video-sharing websites, social networking websites, web applications etc.



The Internet based tools like RSS, social bookmarking, press release, online marketing, blog's, forums etc made an everlasting impression on people's lives as it has crossed the hurdle of socio-economic barriers. Web 2.0 tools are available free and are widely used by people, some of the most noticeable are:
  • Facebook
  • Myspace 
  • WordPress
  • Blogger
  • Diggi
  • Del.icio.us
  • Chrome
  • Flickr
  • Twitter
  • YouTube
  • Gmail



All of the above provide an interactive platform where reviews, opinions, likes etc can be shared among the online users group. It has increased the rate of participation of users on online websites and hence given a wide horizon to the online community. Web 2.0 has definitely provided a better functionality and allows the visitor to communicate with the website in a much better prospective.



Now comes Web 3.0 a set of values and technical applications that define a new era of the World Wide Web and it's third version. We will learn more about Web 3.0 in later sessions and think you for visiting us.

Registers: The Backbone of Computer Memory

-
Image
 In computer science, a register is an important component of digital devices that stores data and instructions for quick processing. A register is a temporary storage area built into a CPU. Some registers are used internally and cannot be accessed outside the processor, while others are user-accessible.  A register may hold an instruction, a storage address, or any kind of data (such as a bit sequence or individual characters). Some instructions specify registers as part of the instruction. For example, an instruction may specify that the contents of two defined registers be added together and then placed in a specified register. A register must be large enough to hold an instruction - for example, in a 64-bit computer, a register must be 64 bits in length. In some computer designs, there are smaller registers - for example, half-registers - for shorter instructions. Depending on the processor design and language rules, registers may be numbered or have arbitrary names. A pro...

Preprocessor Directives in C

-
Image
 Preprocessing is an initial phase to process text before compilation. Preprocessor directives are lines of the source file where the first non-whitespace character is #, which distinguishes them from other lines of text. It operates under the control of preprocessor directive which is placed in the source program before the main(). Before the source code is passed through the compiler, it is examined by the preprocessor for any preprocessor directives. The preprocessor directives are always preceded by a hash sign (#). The preprocessor is executed before the actual compilation of program code begins.  Therefore, the preprocessor expands all the directives and take the corresponding actions before any code is generated by the program statements. No semicolon (;) can be placed at the end of a preprocessor directive.  Advantages of preprocessor directives The advantages of using preprocessor directives in a C program include: Program becomes readable and easy to understand...

Function Generator

-
Image
 In electrical and electronics engineering, a function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave, square wave, triangular wave and sawtooth shapes. These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (which requires an internal or external trigger source). Another feature included on many function generators is the ability to add a DC offset. Integrated circuits used to generate waveforms may also be described as function generator ICs. In particular it can be made to become a sine wave generator, square wave generator, and triangular wave generator. Also a function generator may be able to vary the characteristics of the waveforms, changing the length of the pulse, i.e. the mark space ratio, or the ramps of the different edges of triangular or sawtooth waveforms. The fu...
