SIMD Architecture Diagram

This diagram illustrates a fundamental concept in parallel computing: the Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture. It clearly depicts an 'Instruction Pool' that feeds common instructions to a 'Vector Unit', which in turn houses multiple 'Processing Units' (PUs). Concurrently, a 'Data Pool' supplies distinct data streams to each of these individual PUs. This configuration enables the same operation (instruction) to be applied simultaneously across various data elements, highlighting an efficient strategy for achieving high-throughput computation, commonly found in modern processors and specialized hardware like GPUs.
