METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS VIA COMPUTATIONAL CLOUD OFFLOADING

摘要

A vehicle, a computer system for driving the vehicle and a method of operating the vehicle. The vehicle includes an embedded processor. The embedded processor receives an instruction to perform a computational task involving an operation of the vehicle and offloads the computer task to a remote processor. The remote processor receive the offloaded computational task from the embedded processor, performs the computational task to obtain a partial result, and provide the partial result to the embedded processor. The embedded processor performs the computational task starting with the partial results provided by the remote processor.
