Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of architecture has separate memory for data and instructions
A
Harvard
B
Van Neuman
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Harvard Architecture is the computer architecture that contains separate storage and separate buses (signal path) for instruction and data.

Detailed explanation-2: -Harvard architecture refers to a memory structure in which the processor is connected to two independent memory banks via two independent sets of buses. In the original Harvard architecture, one memory bank holds program instructions and the other holds data.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Harvard architecture is a computer architecture with separate storage and signal pathways for instructions and data. It contrasts with the von Neumann architecture, where program instructions and data share the same memory and pathways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Harvard Architecture has separate memory for data and instructions. In that way, both instruction and data can be fetched at the same time, thus making it comfortable for the users. In Harvard Architecture, Instructions are used in Read-only memory and, Data are used in Read-Write Memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
