SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) and MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) are two distinct parallel computing architectures.
- SIMD Architecture:In SIMD architecture, a single instruction is executed on multiple data simultaneously. This means that all processing elements (PEs) perform the same operation at the same time but on different data. This architecture is particularly suitable for tasks that involve performing the same operation on large sets of data.Here’s a simple diagram illustrating SIMD architecture:
