==Examples==
An example of MIMD system is [[Xeon Phi|Intel Xeon Phi]], descended from [[Larrabee (microarchitecture)|Larrabee]] microarchitecture.<ref>http://perilsofparallel.blogspot.gr/2008/09/larrabee-vs-nvidia-mimd-vs-simd.html</ref> These processors have multiple processing cores (up to 61 as of 2015) that can execute different instructions on different data. NVIDIA graphics cards fit the MIMD model, whereas the AMD/ATI cards more closely resemble the SIMD model, and have a larger number of simpler processors.
 
Most parallel computers, as of 2013, are MIMD systems.<ref>http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/mimd</ref>
