Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uniprocessors fall into the SISD (Single Instruction Single Data) category of computer systems, which means that they execute one instruction on one piece of data at a time. A is incorrect because MIMD (Multiple Instruction Multiple Data) systems have multiple processors that can execute instructions independently. B is incorrect because SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) systems have multiple processing elements that execute the same instruction on multiple pieces of data simultaneously. D is incorrect because MISD (Multiple Instruction Single Data) systems have multiple processors that execute different instructions on the same data.
