Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What describes the requirement that a program be described as a sequence of instructions?
A
von Neumann bottleneck
B
Linus Torvalds bottleneck
C
Bjarne Stroustrup bottleneck
D
Alan Turing bottleneck
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The von Neumann bottleneck is a limitation on throughput caused by the standard personal computer architecture. The term is named for John von Neumann, who developed the theory behind the architecture of modern computers. Earlier computers were fed programs and data for processing while they were running.

Detailed explanation-2: -Von Neumann architecture is based on the stored-program computer concept, where instruction data and program data are stored in the same memory. This design is still used in most computers produced today.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Von Neumann architecture consists of a single, shared memory for programs and data, a single bus for memory access, an arithmetic unit, and a program control unit. The Von Neumann processor operates fetching and execution cycles seriously.

Detailed explanation-4: -The idea was introduced in the late 1940s by John von Neumann, who proposed that a program be electronically stored in binary-number format in a memory device so that instructions could be modified by the computer as determined by intermediate computational results.
