In this post, we will understand the difference between SIMD and MIMD −
SIMD
It stands for Single Instruction Multiple Data.
It requires less memory.
It is inexpensive in comparison to MIMD.
It has a single decoder.
It uses latent (tacit) synchronization.
It is a synchronous programming technique.
It is simple in comparison to MIMD.
It is not as efficient as MIMD in terms of performance.
MIMD
It stands for Multiple Instruction Multiple Data.
It requires more memory.
It is expensive in comparison to SIMD.
It contains multiple decoders.
It uses accurate (explicit) synchronization.
It is an asynchronous programming technique.
It is complex in comparison to SIMD.
It is efficient in comparison to SIMD.
