Expert Solution
Explanation

1) SISD (Single Instruction, Single Data) computing system is a uniprocessor machine which is capable of executing a single code or instruction, operating on a single data stream.

2) SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) is a multiprocessor machine capable of executing the same code or instruction on all the CPUs but operating on different data streams

3) MISD (Multiple Instruction, Single Data) is a multiprocessor machine capable of executing different code or instructions on the same dataset .

4) MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) is a multiprocessor machine which is capable of executing multiple code or instructions on multiple data sets. 

From all above options SIMD is best model sescibes the type of parallelism because same code running on serveral different processor and each processiong different data.
