SIMD (Single Instruction Stream Multiple Data Stream) It is the organisation of a single computer containing multiple processors connected with a commoncontrol unit and a shared memory unit. All processing elements receives the same instruction stream from the control unit but operate on different data stream. The shared memory unit contain multiple modules so that it can communicate with all the processors simultaneously.
