STUDY ON REAL1STIC TECHNOLOGY OF CONDITION MONITORING AND FAULT DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FOR SHIPPING POWER DEVICES

Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis is currently a very important problem in large-scale complicate power devices. Both scheme and realistic technology for monitoring system hardware and software have been present to solve the problem in this paper. The fault diagnostic model based on artificial neural network and state identification method based on fuzzy analysis are studied.     

柔性制造单元状态监控与故障诊断的综合决策模型与策略

为解决快速实时的在线状态监控与决策这一与系统功能相适应的问题,针对ＦＭＳ加工设备与过程的特点和对之进行监控与诊断的需要,提出一通用的全局监测与决策模型,包括传感策略、特征提取、状态表述与分类、故障全局综合决策等模块和具体的监测流程。     

MPP Fortran 程序中串行循环的优化

在大规模并行处理系统中,通讯开销是影响程序性能的一个重要因素。本文提出了一种ＭＰＰＦｏｒｔｒａｎ程序中串行循环的优化技术：在串行循环中加入同步控制、将串行循环转换成共享循环。该技术能减少通讯开销、提高程序的性能。
