Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a distributed model compilation system. A master node of the system determines the logic calculation graph of the model based on model information, divides the logic calculation graph into multiple logic calculation sub-graphs, generates a distributing message for each logic calculation sub-graph, and then transmits the distributing message to a slave node. Each of the slave nodes allocates a local computing resource to compile the logic calculation sub-graph based on the received distributing message, and transmits compilation completion information to the master node. The master node determines the completion of model compilation based on the compilation completion information returned by each slave node, and executes the target work based on the compiled model.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that characterizes susceptibility of an inferential model to follow signal degradation. During operation, the system receives a set of time-series signals associated with sensors in a monitored system during normal fault-free operation. Next, the system trains the inferential model using the set of time-series signals. The system then characterizes susceptibility of the inferential model to follow signal degradation. During this process, the system adds degradation to a signal in the set of time-series signals to produce a degraded signal. Next, the system uses the inferential model to perform prognostic-surveillance operations on the set of time-series signals with the degraded signal. Finally, the system characterizes susceptibility of the inferential model to follow degradation in the signal based on results of the prognostic-surveillance operations.
