Single instruction, multiple data
- A type of parallel processing in Flynn’s taxonomy. SIMD can be internal (part of the hardware design), and it can be directly accessible through an instruction set architecture (ISA), but it should not be confused with an ISA. SIMD describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data points simultaneously. ← Wikipedia
