Celoxica Delivers ESL Design for Real-Time Security and Fraud Detection; JAIST System Design Improves Internet-Based Watermarking Detection Performance by 148x.ABINGDON, England -- Celoxica Ltd., the leading provider of C-based electronic system level (ESL (1) An earlier family of client/server development tools for Windows and OS/2 from Ardent Software (formerly VMARK). It was originally developed by Easel Corporation, which was acquired by VMARK. ) design and synthesis solutions and Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST JAIST Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology ), have developed a high-speed digital watermarking Digital watermarking is a technique which allows an individual to add hidden copyright notices or other verification messages to digital audio, video, or image signals and documents. detection system with real-time operation Noun 1. real-time operation - data processing fast enough to keep up with an outside process real-time processing data processing - (computer science) a series of operations on data by a computer in order to retrieve or transform or classify information across the Internet. The joint research project used ESL design and C-based synthesis to accelerate watermarking algorithms in a hardware co-processor. The project resulted in a low-power solution that runs detection scanning 148 times faster than software only configurations. The complex algorithm design Algorithm design is a specific method to create a mathematical process in solving problems. Applied algorithm design is Algorithm engineering. Algorithm design is identified and incorporated into many solution theories of operation research, such as dynamic was implemented using Celoxica's DK Design Suite of ESL tools and RC Series hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today. See platform. . Digital watermarking is increasingly being used in response to the escalating misuse, and illegal copying and distribution of multimedia content. Digital watermarks embed hidden data into digital content or media. These watermarks contain copyright information identifying the origins, ownership and authenticity of the content. The research project at JAIST developed an accelerated watermarking solution for audio content. The project increased detection efficiency and implemented multiple watermarks in parallel using hardware co-processing. "Digital watermark detection by software alone is too slow and power hungry, and it cannot catch illegal audio files that are exchanged over the Internet," said Yasushi Inoguchi, associate professor at the center for information science at JAIST. "Using C-based design and synthesis technology we were able to easily capture the complex watermarking algorithms and accelerate the watermark watermark: see paper. See digital watermark. detection scheme in a co-processor, exploiting the power and performance benefits of programmable hardware." Supported by Celoxica and Japan's Science and Technology Agency (JST JST Japan Science and Technology Agency JST Japan Standard Time (GMT+0900) JST Jubilee Sailing Trust (UK) JST Joseph Smith Translation JST JWFC (Joint Warfighting Center) ), JAIST researchers used Celoxica's DK Design Suite to design the watermarking algorithms and implement them from C to hardware. A Celoxica RC Series development board was selected as the hardware platform. Tests using a benchmark for detection of 50 watermarks show that the JAIST solution achieved detection times of 500ms (326.4Mpbs) running hardware co-processing at 30MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . This compared to detection times of 74351ms (2.2Mbps) for a Pentium 4 microprocessor running at 2.8GHz in a software only implementation. "The level of performance improvement that was achieved makes it possible to perform real-time watermarking detection of content exchanged over a network," said Colin Mason Colin Victor James Mason is an Australian journalist, author and politician who was elected to the Australian Senate at the 1977 election as a senator for New South Wales, joining with Don Chipp (Victoria) in the first accession of the Australian Democrats to the Senate. , VP Asia Pacific, general manager and representative director, Celoxica Japan K.K. "It provides yet another example of how designers are increasingly using our DK Design Suite and RC algorithm accelerators to speed-up systems and IP in different processing architectures, particularly where the mismatch between power and performance is becoming a critical design problem."
