Condition-based maintenance: Algorithms and applications for embedded high performance computing

Abstract

Condition based maintenance (CBM) seeks to generate a design for a new ship wide CMB system that performs diagnoses and failure prediction on Navy shipboard machinery. Eventually, a variety of shipboard systems will be instrumented with embedded high-performance processors to monitor equipment performance, diagnosis failures, and predict anticipated failures. To illustrate the general principles of our design, we are currently building a research prototype of the CBM system that applies to the shipboard chilled water system.
