The ____ model is the basis for today’s computers
A
Leibnitz
B
von Neumann
C
Pascal
D
Charles Babbage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The basic physical organization of a modern computer, based on the von Neumann architecture model, comprises 5 units, namely memory, control, arithmetic-&-logic, input, and output.

Detailed explanation-3: -Modern computers are based on the von Neumann architecture in which computation and storage are physically separated: data are fetched from the memory unit, shuttled to the processing unit (where computation takes place) and then shuttled back to the memory unit to be stored.

Detailed explanation-4: -They’re tolerably easy to reason about and very well understood by engineers and developers. They work very well for existing industrial workloads that drive the demand for hardware R&D; there is 60 years’ worth of algorithms and software for Von Neumann machines.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
