Von-Neumann Architecture:
Von-Neumann proposed computer architecture design in 1945 which was later known as Von-Neumann Architecture. It consisted of a Control Unit, Arithmetic, and Logical Unit (ALU), Register and Inputs/Outputs.
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.
A Von-Neumann-based computer:
- Uses a single processor
- Uses one memory for both instructions and data
- Executes programs followings the fetch-decode-execute cycle
Components of Von-Neumann Model:
- Central Processing Unit
- Buses
- Memory Unit
