Parallel Processing
 It is a term used to denote a large class of
techniques that are used to provide simultaneous
data processing tasks.
 The purpose of parallel processing is to speed up
the computer processing capability & increase its
throughput, i.e., the amount of processing that can
be accomplished during a given time interval.

Flynn’s Taxonomy
 Flynn’s Taxonomy uses two basic concepts:
 Parallelism in instruction stream, and
 Parallelism in data stream.
 A n CPU system has n program counter, so
there are n “instruction stream” that can
execute in parallel.
 A data stream can be used as a sequence of data, and
there exist 4 possible combinations:

Flynn’s Classification
SISD(Single Instruction Single
Data)
 A processor that can only do one job at a time from
start to finish.

5
SIMD(Single Instruction Multiple Data)
 Single CU and multiple PEs
 CU fetches an instruction from memory and after
decoding, broadcasts control signals to all PEs.
 That is, at any given time, all PEs are
Synchronously executing the same.
 Instruction but on different sets of data; hence the name
SIMD.

SIMD(Single Instruction
Multiple Data)

7
MISD(Multiple instructions
single data)
 A rare type, since data throughput is limited.

MIMD(Multiple instruction Multiple Data)


 A MIMD is a true multiprocessor
 In contrast to SIMD, a MIMD is a general- purpose
machine.
 When all the processor in MIMD are running the same
program, we call it Single Program Multiple Data(SPMD)
computation.
 The SPMD model is widely used by many parallel
platforms.
