In computing, MISD(multiple instruction, single data) is a type of parallel

computingarchitecture where many functional units perform different operations on the

same data. Pipeline architectures belong to this type, though a purist might say that the
data is different after processing by each stage in the pipeline. Fault tolerance executing
the same instructions redundantly in order to detect and mask errors, in a manner
known as task replication, may be considered to belong to this type. Applications for this
architecture are much less common than MIMD and SIMD, as the latter two are often
more appropriate for common data parallel techniques. Specifically, they allow better
scaling and use of computational resources. However, one prominent example of MISD
in computing are the Space Shuttle flight control computers

Multiple-instruction, single-data (MISD) systems –

An MISD computing system is a multiprocessor machine capable of executing
different instructions on different PEs but all of them operating on the same dataset .

Example Z = sin(x)+cos(x)+tan(x)
The system performs different operations on the same data set. Machines built using
the MISD model are not useful in most of the application, a few machines are built,
but none of them are available commercially.
