Claim 0:
1. A method for processing a predetermined computing task by a distributed, vehicle-based computing system, wherein through a server device the computing task is divided into several data packets with respective computing data for a respective part of the computing task,
wherein:
for several motor vehicles it is determined in each case whether the vehicle currently is in a predetermined ready state, which comprises that the motor vehicle is coupled to an electrical energy supply device that is external to the vehicle,
the server device respectively transmits the data packets to one of the motor vehicles, wherein the respective data packet in each case is transmitted only to such a motor vehicle which is in the predetermined ready state,
the respective motor vehicle processes the respective computing data of this data packet that was transmitted and hereby generates a respective computing result related to the data packet that was transmitted and transmits the respective computing result to the server device, and
the server device composes an overall result from each transmitted computing result related to the computing task,

wherein the server device assigns to every transmitted data packet an equivalent value by a predetermined evaluation rule and accumulates for every computing result received from the motor vehicles vehicle-specifically the equivalent values and on the basis of the vehicle-specific, accumulated equivalent values determines a computing performance rendered by the respective motor vehicle.
