There are no semiconductor fabs in India unfortunately
, we designed the chip on a Virtex-7 FPGA in Verilog, wrote firmware to control it, and Xilinx helped us tape out a 16nm process node for MOSIS (
https://www.mosis.com) from the RTL, we have to recompile the verilog code for Global Foundries 16nm process for the production run, but thankfully MOSIS provides the cell libraries for us to do this. We have been working on this from September of 2016. We just got the first low run prototype batch of 650 chips. And we did try running it at home with heavy duty wiring, it was a nightmare with neighbors (who are senior citizens) constantly complaining about the noise and finally they warned us that they would call the cops since they could not get to sleep. Which is why we had to move to a data center. Now they are saying they want to charge us 1.2 lakh per month (we had a deal with them for 38000 + taxes earlier), since we had already sunk quite a bit of money into this endeavor it would burn quite a big hole in our finances. We have already spent quite a lot of money for the tape-out and the prototype run, packaging etc...
Is this a business opportunity you are looking into considering that miners aren't easily available in India? Thought, this may only be a temporary situation.
Lets just assume that you are doing this as a hobbyist and DIY project. Can you link it to some sort of institution rather than a private initiative. If yes, then you can ask some of the organisations in Bangalore that have the required facilities to allow you to test this out.
And seriously man, its a shame that we don't have fabs in India yet. The Deity was supposed to be working on two fab projects by the way. Heard about this 3-4 years back.
Have you looked into crowdfunding this? Genuinely interested people who care about the technology are unfortunately hard to find in India, but there are enough of them. How are the chips being powered. What capacity and kind of feeder would you need? 6.3 KW can be taken care of by your average Switch-fuse unit. There are a lot of industries that have those available. BHEL, HAL, DRDO . If you can connect this with academics then it'd be welcome in IISc too i guess. Have you explored these options??
Also, can you send me a synopsis/ presentation on this project?
