Before revision: However, in the only peer-reviewed published paper on the topic - The Myth of the Harvard Architecture published by the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing - the author demonstrates that: - The term “Harvard architecture” was coined decades later, in the context of microcontroller design and only retrospectively applied to the Harvard machines and subsequently applied to RISC microprocessors with separated caches - The so-called “Harvard” and “von Neumann” architectures are often portrayed as a dichotomy, but the various devices labeled as the former have far more in common with the latter than they do with each other.
