Abstract

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is becoming a core function for organisations that produce, manage and distribute digital content. Promising applications of DSP include coding, rendering, copyright protection, that is highly demanding application in terms of CPU load. In this communication, some specific cases are presented where GRID computing could be used as an enabling/assisting technology for two demanding DSP techniques: watermarking and encoding. Specific cases of heavy load mathematical transformations for large media objects are discussed. A proposal for incorporating the watermarking procedure in the Grid architecture is also briefly presented.
