===Instruction and data streams===

In multiprocessing, the processors can be used to execute a single sequence of instructions in multiple contexts ([[single instruction, multiple data]] or SIMD, often used in [[vector processing]]), multiple sequences of instructions in a single context ([[multiple instruction, single data]] or MISD, used for [[Redundancy (engineering)|redundancy]] in fail-safe systems and sometimes applied to describe [[Pipeline (computing)|pipelined processors]] or [[hyper-threading]]), or multiple sequences of instructions in multiple contexts ([[multiple instruction, multiple data]] or MIMD).
