What is SISD and SIMD?

SISD (Single Instruction, Single Data) refers to the traditional von Neumann architecture where a single sequential processing element (PE) operates on a single stream of data. • SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) performs the same operation on multiple data items simultaneously.

What do you mean by SIMD?

Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) units refer to hardware components that perform the same operation on multiple data operands concurrently.

SIMD is vectorization at the instruction level - each CPU instruction processes multiple data elements.

SPMD is a much higher level abstraction where processes or programs are split across multiple processors and operate on different subsets of the data.
