A Computer Network with Fast Distributed Reconfiguration and Data Processing During Transfer

Abstract

This paper considers a computer network with an extended functionality. The network is fully connected but only the currently necessary links are formed. The links are fast reconfigured, which allows for a repeated change of their structure subject to a solved problem. As shown below, such an approach significantly simplifies and accelerates the execution of massive operations with a simultaneous participation of many system devices. Using network resources only, it is possible to perform some types of distributed computing over data directly in the course of their transfer in the network. The examples of network usage and technical implementation of its basic components are given.
