Flynn’s Transport

Flynn's Taxonomy is a way to categorize computer architectures based on how they handle instructions and data during processing. It has four types: Single Instruction Single Data (SIMD), where one instruction operates on one data point; Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD), where one instruction affects multiple data points simultaneously; Multiple Instructions Single Data (MISD), which is rare, where different instructions process the same data; and Multiple Instructions Multiple Data (MIMD), where multiple instructions operate on different data. This classification helps in understanding and designing how computers perform tasks efficiently, especially in contexts like parallel processing and high-performance computing.
