- A type of parallel computing architecture where many functional units perform different operations on the same data. Fault tolerance executing the same instructions redundantly in order to detect and mask errors, in a manner known as task replication, may be considered to belong to 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 techniques, allowing better scaling and use of computational resources. The Space Shuttle flight control computers are a prominent example of MISD. ← Wikipedia
