multiple instruction, multiple data (MIMD) is a technique employed to achieve parallelism. Machines using MIMD have a number of processors that function...

supercomputers are based on a MIMD architecture. Although these are not part of Flynn's work, some further divide the MIMD category into the two categories...

parallel programming and can be considered a subcategory of MIMD in that it refers to MIMD execution of a given (“single”) program. It is also a prerequisite...

SWAR environment. By using more complicated structures, one could also have MIMD parallelism. Although those two paradigms were efficient, real-world implementations...

hardware sense. In Flynn's taxonomy, multiprocessors as defined above are MIMD machines. As the term "multiprocessor" normally refers to tightly coupled...

Supercomputing moved away from the SIMD approach when inexpensive scalar MIMD approaches based on commodity processors such as the Intel i860 XP became...

distinguish systolic arrays from any of Flynn's four categories: SISD, SIMD, MISD, MIMD, as discussed later in this article. The parallel input data flows through...

data streams can be different for each processor, they need not be. Thus, MIMD architectures can run identical programs that are in various stages at any...

instructions simultaneously. Graphics processors and computers with SIMD and MIMD features often contain ALUs that can perform arithmetic on vectors and matrices...

this type. Applications for this architecture are much less common than MIMD and SIMD, as the latter two are often more appropriate for common data parallel...
