Pakistan has designed the country’s first microprocessor, taking the first step to make its mark in the global کی 500 billion global market for microprocessors.
Using the open source technologies in partnership with Google, 2 systems on-chip microprocessors consist of RISC-V, an open standard instruction set architect developed by the international organization based in Switzerland, which is a significant step towards Pakistan’s self-reliance in digital technology. ۔
This microprocessor is the result of research on semiconductor technologies in Pakistan’s first Microelectronics Research Laboratory at the Usman Institute of Technology, an IT engineering institute in Pakistan, and undergraduate students under the supervision of PhD specialist Dr. Ali Ahmad Ansari. Designed. Designed in Pakistan, these microprocessors were designed under a Google-funded program and were selected from 40 open service processors designed in different countries around the world that will arrive in Pakistan in chip format by next month. Will be the first RISC-V microprocessor. This processor has been named Barak which consists of two parts one is called Genesis and the other is called Ghazi. These processors will be useful for solutions containing Internet of Things and through machine learning and artificial intelligence methods. Can be installed in electronics, vehicles and machines that make human life easier.
Dr. Ali Ahmad Ansari of Karachi
The credit for the development of the first microprocessors in Pakistan goes to Dr. Ali Ahmad Ansari, a young IT expert from Karachi who turned down the opportunity to settle in any country in the world and decided to come to Pakistan and use his skills for the country and the nation. What
Dr. Ali Ahmad Ansari obtained first position in Radio Electronics from Sindh Technical Board in Matriculation across the province. After doing Pre-Engineering from DJ Science College, he went to NED where he got admission in Electronics Department and from here to do BE Electronics. He later completed a Masters and a PhD in Electronics and Communication Engineering from South Korea on a Higher Education Commission scholarship. Dr. Ali Ahmad Ansari is part of the Advisory Panel of Elsevier, a global research institute on healthcare advanced science. He made two inventions during his PhD and worked in fields such as TVLSI and TCAS. Research competitions became part of international journals. He was selected as a Horton member of Europe’s Best Talent Investment Company, Entrepreneurs First K, and the UK issued him a UK visa, declaring him a global talent.
The beginning of a new chapter
The global market for semiconductors or microprocessors is estimated at 500 500 billion, which is expected to double in the next five years. Designing microprocessors in Pakistan is ushering in a new chapter for Pakistani IT engineers to showcase their talents globally. Pakistan’s IT engineers will be able to earn a monthly stipend of Rs 3 to 6 lakh by providing services to microprocessor manufacturing companies through verification and designing of microprocessors. However, the creation of a complete ecosystem to create these professional capabilities in IT engineers and The provision of training through effective tools is essential, which has been initiated in the Micro Electronics Research Laboratory of the Usman Institute.
Manufacture of Microprocessors Capital Industry
The manufacturing of microprocessors is a multi-faceted industry. In contrast, the “fabless model” is more suitable for Pakistan in which software engineers verify and design microprocessors. After that, the world’s microprocessor manufacturing companies may turn to Pakistan. Fabless model manufacturing of microprocessors is a method of designing and selling hardware devices and semiconductor chips by which microprocessors are designed for semiconductor manufacturers called foundries. Usually, fabless companies like Apple, HP, Dell, and Facebook do not have their own foundry or fabrication facilities. All of these companies use world-renowned Taiwanese fabrication services company TSMC and Korea’s Samsung. Yes, according to experts, the same method would be suitable for Pakistan.
