COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -A major advance in computer design occurred in the late 1940s, when John von Neumann (pronounced noy-man) had the idea that a computer should be permanently hardwired with a small set of general-purpose operations [Schneider and Gersting, 2010].

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The von Neumann architecture-also known as the von Neumann model or Princeton architecture-is a computer architecture based on a 1945 description by John von Neumann, and by others, in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Von Neumann architecture used the idea of storing program instructions and data in main memory and moving them between memory and the processor. Von Neumann architecture is used in many modern-day computer systems.
