Abstract. For a distributed group of active, synchronously interacting computers (hereinafter referred to as objects), methods and means are proposed that accelerate the interaction of objects connected by a local network by replacing object addresses and data with their characteristic attributes.
The proposed methods and means include: synchronous network link structures; distributed associative operations; a decentralized method for entering the synchronous interaction mode of objects; methods for jointly managing their synchronous actions; synchronous interface cards (SI). The network hardware consists only of SI and repeaters ($RT$ ) of object signals transmitted between the SI and $RT$ via wireless optical communication channels. The objects selected from the source objects of the data set are simultaneously sent to the $RT$ , where the incoming binary data bits of the same name are combined. The $RT$ forwards the common data set created in the $RT$ without delay to all receiver objects, which create and execute distributed associative operations.
As a result, the data transport used in networks in the proposed synchronous networks is combined with distributed computing over data without slowing down their transmission, which accelerates the execution of tasks with elements of uncertainty and heuristics. (In Russian).
