The technology disclosed herein enables software-defined functions in a vehicle using asymmetric distributed compute nodes. In a particular example, a system includes one or more higher-performance compute nodes of the asymmetric distributed compute nodes and one or more lower-performance compute nodes of the asymmetric distributed compute nodes. The system further includes a communication backbone over which the higher-performance compute nodes and the lower-performance compute nodes communicate. The one or more higher-performance compute nodes execute first processes for performing a first portion of the software-defined vehicle functions for the vehicle and the one or more lower-performance compute nodes execute second processes for performing a second portion of the software-defined vehicle functions for the vehicle.
