There are two traditional ways of storing instructions and data in memory The Harvard architecture separates instructions from the data upon which they operate and stores Them in separate memory blocks This scheme requires that data and instructions have independent paths by which they reach the central processing unit In the Princeton architecture data and instructions are stored in the same memory block both data and instructions use the same path to the CPU which architecture does the processor you designed (shown below) conform to? Harvard Princeton Neither Both

Solution

Ans: Harvard Architecture

Explanation: From the given architecture, we could see that there is only one memory unit and there are two data buses which are connecting to the external memory. One bus is uni directional and another bus in bi directional. Uni directional bus is used by CPU to select particular address in memory. Bi directional bus is used for reading / writing data/instruction from memory.

There is only one bi directional bus which is interacting with Memory for reading / writing. Hence it belongs to harvard category.
