Abstract

A computing device that includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit that are connected to one another in a data-transmitting manner. The first processing unit, upon recognition that an activation condition is present, is configured to determine whether the activation condition requires an activation of the second processing unit, and when the activation condition requires the activation of the second processing unit, to activate the second processing unit and to output an activation signal, including the activation condition, on an activation line. Also, a network that includes at least two such computing devices, and a method for activating a second processing unit of a computing device that includes a first processing unit and the second processing unit, which are connected to one another in a data-transmitting manner, are also described.
