C)MISD
D)MIMD

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vector and array processors utilize Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture which allows the processor to perform the same operation on multiple pieces of data simultaneously. This is in contrast to SISD (Single Instruction Single Data) architecture which processes one data item at a time, MISD (Multiple Instruction Single Data) which processes one data item with multiple instructions, and MIMD (Multiple Instruction Multiple Data) architecture which processes multiple data items with multiple instructions concurrently.
