Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
in the Harvard Architecture, both data and programs are stored in the same memory?
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a normal computer that follows von Neumann architecture, instructions and data both are stored in the same memory. So same buses are used to fetch instructions and data.

Detailed explanation-2: -Von Neumann architecture is the design upon which many general purpose computers are based. The key elements of von Neumann architecture are: data and instructions are both stored as binary digits. data and instructions are both stored in primary storage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Harvard Architecture provides separated buses for data and program memory to fetch program and data simultaneously. By doing this access time is reduced and hence performance is increased.

Detailed explanation-4: -Von Neumann Architecture: Von Neumann Architecture is a digital computer architecture whose design is based on the concept of stored program computers where program data and instruction data are stored in the same memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Harvard architecture is a type of computer architecture that separates its memory into two parts so data and instructions are stored separately. The architecture also has separate buses for data transfers and instruction fetches. This allows the CPU to fetch data and instructions at the same time.
