Question

We think that there should be an additional tier added to Flynn's taxonomy. What characteristics set advanced computers apart from their lower-level counterparts?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction :

Flynn's taxonomy is a classification system for computer architectures based on the number of instruction streams and data streams that can be processed simultaneously. It has four categories: SISD (Single Instruction, Single Data), SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data), MISD (Multiple Instruction, Single Data), and MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data). However, some experts have suggested adding an additional tier to Flynn's taxonomy to account for more advanced computer architectures.
