Von Neumann/Turing
Computer word structure Stored Program concept
The data and instruction words in computers tend to Main memory storing programs and data
be organized systematically. ALU operating on binary data
Instruction word = data word = memory word (in Control unit interpreting instructions from memory
most early cases) and executing
A special term used for an 8-bit word is called Byte. Input and output equipment operated by control unit
210 Bytes = 1 Kb, 210 Kb = 1 Mb, 210 Mb = 1Gb..
A number that identifies the location of a word in a Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS)
memory is called address Completed 1952
Always used binary number, although hexadecimal used
Refers to a word location in memory
The Stored Program Concept The Stored Program Concept and its
Implications
Von Neumann’s proposal was to store the program
instructions right along with the data The Stored Program concept had several
This may sound trivial, but it represented a technical formations:
