A method for operating a computing arrangement. The computing arrangement includes: a plurality of single-chip systems, wherein the single-chip systems are configured to obtain the same sensor data, and at least one degradation mechanism configured to perform functions of a failed single-chip system on another single-chip system. In the method, when a failure of at least one of the single-chip systems is sensed, a switch takes place to another single-chip system to perform a function assigned to the failed single-chip system. A degradation mechanism is additionally performed.

Method for operating a control unit

A multi-sensor system, made up of at least two sensor units, in which the sensors may be activated at predefined target points in time on the basis of internal clocks mounted decentrally in the sensor units, in order to record data. Thus, the triggering of the sensor measurements and the assignment of measured data at the corresponding measuring points in time take place decentrally in the sensor units. So that all measuring points in time are based on a common time, the individual sensor units of the multi-sensor system may be synchronized with the aid of a synchronization signal.
