    The document compares general purpose computers and embedded systems, describing key differences between them. General purpose computers can perform many tasks but have larger memory, were developed earlier, and are not time specific. Embedded systems perform limited tasks, need less memory, were developed later, and are time specific. The document also compares Von Neumann and Harvard architectures. Von Neumann uses a common bus for data and instructions while Harvard uses separate buses, and Harvard can execute instructions and read/write simultaneously while Von Neumann requires two cycles to execute a single instruction.
