One way to combat this structure's namesake problem, first identified by John Backus as "pushing words back and forth" is to have separate pathways and storage for instructions and data; this fix is named for the institution that designed the Mark I implementing it, Harvard University.

That namesake bottleneck results due to speed limitations of transfer between storage and processing. Designed as an alternative to fixed computing, name this computing architecture that involves a memory unit to store instructions and data, an arithmetic logic unit to perform operations, a control unit, and input/output units, and is, for 10 points, the basis of most modern-day computers.
