India's First Institute for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Joint Initiative Supported by Sun, Cadence, Veda IIT December 27, 2004, Volume 82, Issue 5
India's first institute for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Engineering, Design Automation and Embedded System Engineering is being supported by Sun, Cadence and Veda IIT, all of which have joined in a collaborative proposal to establish a Center for Competency (CoC) for R&D in VLSI in Hyderabad. This institute's primary focus will be to bring product design orientation to students. Sun's CoC program is offered to a select few institutions worldwide to advance education and research. This one in Hyderabad will be based on Sun's grid infrastructure technologies enabling users to evaluate grid computing, distributed management and portal technologies through a series of projects. "We have been partnering with various institutes to assist the human capital to take up research in new and emerging technologies," said Gautam Desai, Sun India's Education and Research sales manager. "Our association with Veda IIT to help budding engineers in this sector would prove to be a silicon success churning out resource pool of talented students in VLSI engineering." Cadence Design Systems Pvt Ltd India & SAARC Executive Director Himanshu Singh said that India could be poised to become the electronic hub for semi-conductor design. "More than 60 percent of the design companies have a presence in India and more than 6,000 VLSI designers work on various products," Singh said. "This number would grow to about 12,000 over a couple of years. So it is imperative that the human capital that India has is not only quantitative but qualitative, too." Announced at a joint news conference held December 23, 2004, the Sun-Cadence-VEDA IIT collaboration plans on offering scholarships to research students as part of this initiative to attract high-quality applicants. Currently under discussion is the actual curriculum to be implemented within this institute. "We are attempting to offer a set of courses ranging from a fourth month diploma course to a MS program," said Veda IIT chairman Dasaradha R Gude. "It would be a one-stop career path for students seeking a career in VLSI engineering." Sun's Regional Director of Asia South for Education and Research Andrew Lim commented that Sun will provide grid computing, open, scalable and commercially viable grid and HPC solutions for the advancement of training and research in VLSI technology.
"Promoting this CoC is a testament to VEDA IIT's leadership in VLSI Engineering," Lim noted, "and reiterates Sun's commitment to create reliable and proven grid and HPC computing solutions for VLSI Engineering knowledge center."
