Last modified: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 


Short for single instruction, single data. A type of parallel computing architecture that is classified under Flynn's taxonomy. A single processor executes a single instruction stream, to operate on data stored in a single memory. There is often a central controller that broadcasts the instruction stream to all the processing elements.

Michael J. Flynn
Michael Flynn received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1961. He joined IBM in 1955 and for 10 years worked in the areas of computer organization and design. He was design manager of prototype versions of the IBM 7090 and 7094/II, and later for the System 360 Model 91 Central Processing Unit.
