Computer architectures

  1. Von Neumann Architecture: This is the most common and widely used architecture in modern computers.   It features a single memory space for both instructions and data, accessed through a shared bus.   The CPU fetches instructions and data from this shared memory, processes them, and stores the results back in the same memory.   Example: Desktops, laptops, and smartphones.   2. Harvard Architecture: This architecture uses separate memory spaces for instructions and data.   This separation allows for faster instruction fetching and execution, especially beneficial for applications requiring high performance.   Example: Microcontrollers and embedded systems.   3. RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer): RISC architectures have a smaller set of simpler instructions, leading to faster execution times.   They rely more on hardware for instruction execution, making them more complex to design but also more efficient.   Example: Modern high...
