Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The von Neumann architecture stores data and program code in the same internal memory. There is another architecture that stores data and program code in separate memories. What is this architecture called?
A
Harvard
B
Hartford
C
Hacienda
D
Haiku
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -This means the CPU cannot do both things together (read the instruction and read/write data). Harvard Architecture is the computer architecture that contains separate storage and separate buses (signal path) for instruction and data. It was basically developed to overcome the bottleneck of Von Neumann Architecture.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. The Von Neumann architecture consists of a single, shared memory for programs and data, a single bus for memory access, an arithmetic unit, and a program control unit. The Von Neumann processor operates fetching and execution cycles seriously.
