SiGine Accelerates Algorithm Design for Voice, Video-Over-Network Products with Catalytic Inc.Plans to Use Catalytic RMS for Other Products PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. -- Catalytic Inc., a technology innovator that reduces the time and effort to design, verify and implement signal processing See DSP. algorithms, today said that SiGine of Hangzhou, China, accelerated the design of its voice and video-over-network algorithms with Catalytic RMS (Rapid MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) A programming language for technical computing from The MathWorks, Natick, MA (www.mathworks.com). Used for a wide variety of scientific and engineering calculations, especially for automatic control and signal processing, MATLAB runs on Windows, Mac and [R] Simulator). SiGine used Catalytic RMS fixed-point Analyzer and Profiler for algorithm quantization (1) The division of a range of values into a single number, code or classification. For example, class A is 0 to 999, class B is 1000 to 9999 and class C is 10000 and above. (2) In analog to digital conversion, the assignment of a number to the amplitude of a wave. and shaved more than 50% of the typical time to quantize To perform quantization. See quantization. . Using Catalytic RMS, which works seamlessly with MATLAB[R] from The MathWorks to provide fast simulation of MATLAB code, SiGine was able to accelerate simulation speed by almost 10 times. This enabled the design team to shorten the simulation runs, giving them more time to analyze the performance of the algorithms and ultimately produce a better product. "As a newly founded company, we're dedicated to differentiating ourselves with superior products for voice and video over networks," says Quan Daying, project manager of baseband group of SiGine. "Catalytic RMS fixed-point analyzer and profiler saved us valuable time in quantization by giving us better debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. , analysis and visualization capabilities. The time saved in quantization was used to concentrate on the algorithms themselves. Because of the success of this project, we are extending our usage of Catalytic RMS to developing other products related to voice, video and communications." "Working with an innovative a company such as SiGine has been a rewarding experience," states Dave Burow, Catalytic's chief executive officer (CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. ) and president. "We've had the opportunity to watch a startup take creative ideas and develop them into products that have the potential to be extremely successful." About Catalytic Inc.
