Von Neumann Architecture
Very early computers could not store programs and, hence, in 1945, John von Neumann developed an idea of a computer that could store programs, which is also known as von Neumann architecture. He suggested that data and programs could be stored in memory and that the data would be transferred between the memory and the processor during processing. In this article, von Neumann architecture and its components are explained.
This GCSE Computer Science module introduces Von Neumann architecture to your students, explaining:
- What it is
- What is memory unit
- What is processor
- Input-Output Devices
- The fetch-decode-execute cycle
