Multiple Instruction Multiple Data (MIMD) is a type of parallel computing architecture where many functional units perform different operations on different data. Examples would be a multiprocessor or transputer computer, or a network of workstations. The term MIMD originated as part of Flynn's taxonomy which he first proposed in 1972.
