  Harvard architecture
The term Harvard architecture originally referred to computer architectures that used physically separate storage and signal pathways for their instructions and data (in contrast to the von Neumann architecture).
Harvard architecture is used as the CPU accesses the cache.
Harvard architectures are also frequently used in specialized DSPs, or digital signal processors, commonly used in audio or video processing products.

 Harvard as Seen in Its Buildings
The library, with its angled roofline and textured wood-and-stone façade, is "contextual"--both sensitive and relevant to the surrounding environs in terms of scale and landscape--but in no way resembles the surrounding neighborhood of porch-clad triple-decker homes.
Harvard's brand, he declared, is embodied in the neo-Georgian, just as MIT's architecture is a symbol of modern rationality.
"I think," says Rowe, "that one of Harvard's strengths is its interdigitation of different kinds of architecture built at different times--quite a lot of it very good." The future Allston campus should not be thought of in terms of building an "American" campus, he warns.

 Introduction to DSP - DSP processors: memory architectures
This is cheap, requiring less pins that the Harvard architecture, and simple to use because the programmer can place instructions or data anywhere throughout the available memory.
In this case the modified von Neuman architecture permits all the memory accesses needed to support addition or multiplication: fetch of the instruction; fetch of the two operands; and storage of the result.
Both Harvard and von Neuman architectures require the programmer to be careful of where in memory data is placed: for example with the Harvard architecture, if both needed operands are in the same memory bank then they cannot be accessed simultaneously.

 New York Architecture Images- Harvard Club
While the Harvard Club's meetings were held in the "Club District," it did not have its own clubhouse as most of the others did.
In 1894, the Harvard Club had the small clubhouse designed by Charles F. McKim of the firm McKim, Mead, and White constructed on the recently acquired property at 27 and 29 West 44th Street.
At the time Harvard House, as they called the new clubhouse, was being constructed, members of the Club bought land at 31 West 44th Street and 26-36 West 45th Street with the express purpose of holding it until the Harvard Club needed to expand.

 BDTI - DSP Processor Fundamentals Chapter 5
We call these characteristics the memory architecture of a processor, and the kinds of memory architectures found in DSP processors are the subject of this chapter.
The name Harvard architecture refers to a memory structure wherein the processor is connected to two independent memory banks via two independent sets of buses.
This type of memory architecture is used in many DSP processor families, including the Analog Devices ADSP-21xx and the AT&T DSP16xx, although on the DSP16xx writes to memory always take two instruction cycles, so the full potential of the dual-bank structure is not realized.

 The Juggler of Harvard Architecture
Born in Atlanta, former president and chief operating officer of Heery and Heery Architects, Scogin is a founder and principal of Scogin, Elam and Bray architects in Atlanta, and a 1966 graduate of Georgia Tech with a bachelor of architecture degree.
Harvard is not inhibited by either end of the spectrum.
They taught that architecture was a continuum and a slowly evolving discipline that had everything to do with givens, traditions and time-proven principles that could be challenged in a number of ways--technologically challenged, sociologically challenged--but that it was a slow and evolving discipline.

 ARM Technical Support FAQs - What is the difference between a von Neumann architecture and a Harvard architecture?
Harvard architecture has separate data and instruction busses, allowing transfers to be performed simultaneously on both busses.
Harvard architectures tend to be targeted at higher performance systems, and so caches are nearly always used in such systems.
Trying to use a shared cache on a Harvard architecture would be very inefficient since then only one bus can be fed at a time.

 Between Nature and Culture
As part of a celebration of a century of the teaching of landscape architecture at Harvard, a large gathering at the School of Design considered how Holliston, Massachusetts, deals with its wastewater.
Consideration of such matters was perfectly appropriate as part of the centennial because landscape architecture is not some sort of elevated gardening, but a discipline that mediates between nature and culture, as John Beardsley '74, a senior lecturer in landscape architecture, puts it.
The history of landscape architecture at Harvard "cannot be categorized by a simple snapshot or a single encapsulating phrase," notes George Hargreaves, M.L.A. '79, the San Francisco-based chair of the department, for it requires "tracing the ebbs and flows of taste, ideology, economics, even global politics." That history involves some firsts.

 Lahendro On Kimball as Architect and Historian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The problem in the architectural course [here at the University of Illinois] has been to effect a transformation parallel to the almost miraculous evolution which American architecture has undergone in the last two decades as the crown of a new material civilization.
Those who condemn much of this architecture as imitative and exotic, forget the fundamental unity of our culture with that of Europe, and forget likewise the inevitable fusion of the derived elements in a new whole, already recognizable as characteristically American.
From his Harvard graduation in 1912 until the late 1930's Kimball played an active role in the development of modern American architecture, both as a practicing architect and as a critic.

 Harvard architecture - Definition, explanation
These early machines had very limited data storage, entirely contained within the data processing unit, and provided no access to the instruction storage as data (making loading, modifying, etc. of programs entirely an offline process).
Additionally, most general purpose small microcontrollers used in several electronics applications, such as the PIC microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology Inc, are based on the Harvard architecture.
These processors are characterized by having small amounts of program and data memory, and take advantage of the Harvard architecture and reduced instruction set to ensure that most instructions can be executed within only one machine cycle.

 Zuckerman and McLaughlin : Introduction to Internet Architecture and Institutions
Harvard and Qwest are interconnected at this point much the way Qwest and Opentransit were connected in Virginia.
However, Harvard isn't a peer to Qwest - it doesn't run its own backbone beyond Cambridge, Massachusetts -- and hence Harvard is Quest's customer and must pay all the costs associated with the connection and the "peering" point.
Harvard does have an awfully big network, though, and distinguishes between its edge machines (#21) and core machines (#22, #23).
