Harvard architecture
The Harvard architecture is a computer architecture with separate storage and signal pathways for instructions and data. It is often contrasted with the von Neumann architecture, where program instructions and data share the same memory and pathways. The Harvard architecture is often used in real-time processing or low-power applications.
