According to one of my friends, who is an alumnus of IIT Madras, it is Prof. C Balaji from Mechanical Engineering Department.
He is an amicable person and is very understanding towards students. In fact, he is the coolest professor that you will ever meet. You can give him thousands of reasons for being late to the class or feeling sleepy during the lectures and yet, he will listen calmly and try understanding your problem. He will rather crack a joke on it.
You can share anything with him without any second thought. He will attentively listen to it and give you some valuable feedback. It is pretty evident from this that he is more of a friend than a professor.
According to my friends studying at IIT Madras, attending Mr. Balki's classes are really exciting. You simply just don't want any of it to get over.
If you have even a little amount of interest in the domain of Physics, attending Mr. Balki’s lectures would simply fascinate you.
As far as my knowledge goes, this is probably not the same. From what most people know, ARM is an old RISC processor. X86 is the older scaled-down version and as far as Shakti is concerned, it is a RISC-V processor which is a later version of the ARM (Acorn’s RISC Machine). It also follows the same concepts.
This probably means that if you are planning to do something new with Shakti, it would not have the outdated RISC label to it.
Talking solely about Shakti, it is mostly used as an exercise to demonstrate its ability to do design work and build processors in our country. The bar set here is quite low. They should make Silicon like the one at TSMC and that would probably have a much more lasting impact. This will possibly take some time but they will be there soon.
My brother went to IIT Madras and according to him, all professors are intellectual powerhouses. Here are some of his personal favorite professors in no particular order:
Hope this helps.
