For this activity, you will compare and contrast the Harvard and Princeton architectures. Before proceeding with this activity, review the Module Notes and view the two videos under the learning and assessment activities.

This is a "Post First" discussion and you will not be able to see your peer's posts until you submit your initial post.

Be sure to address these points in your initial response:

Explain each type of architecture and its current applications in computer systems.

Provide and explain diagrams of the general structure of the CPU, considering each type of architecture. $($Use your word processor's drawing tools.$)$

Identify at least two similarities or differences between the two architectures.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of architecture.
