In [[computing]], '''multiple instruction, multiple data''' ('''MIMD''') is a technique employed to achieve parallelism. Machines using MIMD have a number of [[processors]] that function [[asynchrony (computing)|asynchronously]] and independently. At any time, different processors may be executing different instructions on different pieces of data.
