Harvard Architecture, Anybody?

Completely separate(d) Instruction memory and Data memory. Some (very careful) admittance to reading I memory for fixed constant values. Multiple independent D memory 'banks', each with explicit different interface connections for both address and data connections per-bank. Multiple internal independent D caches, one per bank. instruction set support for hardware-based copy-on-write (write multiple D banks from a single I thread). Just some thoughts ...
