Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
General purpose machines are based on which architecture?
A
Harvard
B
Von Neumann
C
They can be either
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Von Neumann Architecture is a digital computer architecture whose design is based on the concept of stored program computers where program data and instruction data are stored in the same memory. This architecture was designed by the famous mathematician and physicist John Von Neumann in 1945.

Detailed explanation-3: -Von Neumann architecture is the design upon which many general purpose computers are based. The key elements of von Neumann architecture are: data and instructions are both stored as binary digits. data and instructions are both stored in primary storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most current computers are based on the Von Neumann design, which has been extremely successful. Any PC’s CPU chip has a control unit and an arithmetic logic unit (and some local memory), while the primary memory is stored on the motherboard in the form of RAM sticks.

Detailed explanation-5: -2. Which architecture is followed by general purpose microprocessors? Explanation: General purpose microprocessors make use of Von Neumann architecture as here a simpler design is offered.
