On the optimal mapping of fuzzy rules on standard micro-controllers

Abstract

Once a fuzzy controller is specified by a rule-set, it can be implemented in dedicated hardware or as a software program. For industrial applications, an inexpensive micro-controller with limited resources is often selected. The implementation (or mapping) issue then leads to a tradeoff between operation speed and memory usage. This paper presents a set of basic transformation rules that allows the designer to optimize such a mapping.
