There is no mention in section 1.2.2 of the possible communication among processors. Indeed, in most applications for which the MISD model is practical, virtually no communication is needed. In some problems, however, it may be necessary for the processors to exchange intermediate results. In addition, there should always be a mechanism to allow a processor to signal the end of its computation, which may lead the others to terminate their own. As with the SIMD and MIMD models, the processors can communicate through the common memory they already share and that generates the data stream. Alternatively, and for practical reasons, there could be a network connecting the processors (in addition to the memory). In the latter case, the memory's job is to issue the data stream while all communications are done through the network. Describe a problem that can be conveniently solved on an MISD computer where interprocessor communication is possible.
