Flynn's taxonomy Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Flynn's taxonomy is a classification of computer architectures, proposed by Flynn in 1966, based on the number of streams of instructions and data:
- Single instruction, single data stream (SISD) - a sequential computer.
- Multiple instruction/single data stream (MISD) - unusual.
- Single instruction, multiple data streams (SIMD) - e.g. an array processor.
- Multiple instruction, multiple data streams (MIMD) - multiple autonomous processors simultaneously executing different instructions on different data.
