Detailed explanation-1: -The Von Neumann architecture, also known as the Princeton architecture, is a computer architecture based on that described in 1945 by the mathematician and physicist John Von Neumann.
Detailed explanation-2: -Von Neumann architecture was first published by John von Neumann in 1945. His computer architecture design consists of a Control Unit, Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU), Memory Unit, Registers and Inputs/Outputs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Von Neumann architecture is the design upon which many general purpose computers are based. This architecture uses the stored program concept .
Detailed explanation-4: -The term “von Neumann architecture” has evolved to refer to any stored-program computer in which an instruction fetch and a data operation cannot occur at the same time (since they share a common bus). This is referred to as the von Neumann bottleneck, which often limits the performance of the corresponding system.
