Single instruction, multiple data. It's a form of parallelism and depends on the instruction set of the processor. For example, you can load 80 bits in a graphics processor stack and run a single instruction to do a logical 'and' on 10 bytes with one instruction. -- Bruce instructions to accelerate > encoding and decoding.
