`Hardware components will be smaller, cheaper and more energy efficient'

BIDAR: Vedic mathematics will help us make faster, more efficient, smaller and cheaper computers and other electronic gadgets, a Vedic mathematics researcher said in Bidar on Thursday.

Subhash Kulkarni, head of the department of electronics in the Jaya Prakash Narayan College of engineering in Mehboob Nagar felt that using Vedic mathematics to write software programmes could revolutionise information technology.

Keynote address

He was delivering the keynote address at a national-level workshop on "Recent Trends in Signal Processing and Wireless Communication" organised by the Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College. According to him, software programmes are based on mathematical equations called algorithms.

These are based on the conventional methods of calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The efficiency of a computer to solve a problem and arrive at a solution depends on the speed with which it can solve these problems. The computer can solve the problems faster with the techniques of Vedic Mathematics. Such computers will be faster, more accurate and efficient. As a result, their hardware components will be smaller, cheaper, and probably more energy efficient, Dr Kulkarni said.

Affordable computers

Principal of the college B.S. Dhaliwal said that innovations in signal processing and wireless communications would lead to better and affordable communication facilities. We have come a long way from sending numerical messages in pagers to sending video files through mobile phones at very low prices. However, this is only the beginning, he said.
