Abstract
A system includes a first electronic control unit (ECU) processor configured to function as a scheduler, connected to a bus on a controller area network. The processor is also configured to receive an availability notification, indicating ECU available processing power, from a second ECU connected to the bus. The processor is further configured to instruct the second ECU to become the scheduler, responsive to a determination that the ECU available processing power is greater than processing power available locally on the first ECU.
