About GCON-VEGATHON

GCON-VEGATHON is a hardware hackathon event organized by IEEE India Council in collaboration with C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) and IIT Guwahati under IEEE Guwhati Sub-section, as a part of IEEE-GCON 2023 (https://event.iitg.ac.in/GCON2023/). This event will enable students and technology enthusiasts to build applications using the indigenously developed VEGA Microprocessor based ARIES development boards. GCON-VEGATHON is a two-month long event where participants should develop a product which will be showcased in the IEEE-GCON 2023 conference. Winners will be announced in GCON 2023.

About DIR-V VEGA Microprocessor

DIR-V VEGA processor is a series of microprocessors including India’s first indigenous 64-bit multi-core RISC-V based superscalar Out-of-order Processor. The VEGA series of microprocessors has been developed in soft IP form, viz. 32-bit single-core (in-order), 64-bit single-core (in-order & out- of-order), 64-bit dual-core (out-of-order), and 64-bit quad-core (out-of-order). These high performance processors are based on the open source RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture with multilevel caches, memory management unit and coherent interconnect. The fabrication of the first DIR-V VEGA processor based SoC ‘THEJAS32’ has been successfully completed and the tapeout of other VEGA SoCs are scheduled.
