Abstract: A method for creating a hypervisor unit for a control unit is described. The hypervisor unit is designed to execute two applications on the control unit during a run time. The hypervisor unit is created during a compile time as a function of a first property of the first application, as a function of a second property of the second application, and as a function of a third property of the control unit.

Abstract: A method for creating a hypervisor unit for a control unit is described. The hypervisor unit is designed to execute two applications on the control unit during a run time. The hypervisor unit is created during a translation time as a function of a first property of the first application, as a function of a second property of the second application, and as a function of a third property of the control unit.

Abstract: A method for operating a real-time critical application, having at least two operating modes, on a control unit of a motor vehicle having at least two parallel processor cores or microprocessors, includes: reading out configuration data assigned to a selected operating mode from a memory assigned to the control unit, the configuration data having information concerning (i) the ability of task lists assigned to the selected operating mode to be executed on each of the at least two parallel processor cores or microprocessors, and/or (ii) the processor cores to be used for the operating mode selected; and determining, on the basis of the read configuration data, which of the at least two parallel processor cores or microprocessors is necessary to operate the real-time critical application and which is able to be switched off or operated in an energy-saving mode.
