MISD - MULTIPLE INSTRUCTIONS SINGLE DATA

MISD didn't exist when Flynn was categorizing the machines. It might have been added for symmetry in his chart. Its applications are very limited and expensive and currently there seems to be no commercial implementation. But it is a research interest topic. One example is systolic array with matrix multiplication like computation. With rows of data processing units (cells) sharing the information with their neighbors immediately after processing.
