Zusammenfassung:Harvesting the high performance computing capabilities of vehicle processors while the vehicles are parked and/or charging may provide use to otherwise unused resources as well as offer a way to discount parking and/or charging costs for the vehicle owner/driver. To harvest the computing capabilities, a dispatcher is utilized that receives incoming complex processing requests and parses the requests into tasks. The dispatcher dispatches the tasks to vehicle processors that are within, for example, a parking garage to which the dispatcher has access. The dispatcher may prioritize requests and/or prioritize the vehicle processors to distribute the tasks to optimize the power consumption, time, and processing capabilities used. When the vehicle processors complete the tasks and return results to the dispatcher, the dispatcher finalizes the job results and provides the results to the requestor. The dispatcher may discount the parking and/or charging costs for the vehicles that performed the computational tasks.
