    The document describes the von Neumann machine architecture, which established the stored-program concept where a computer's program is stored and operated on just like data. It features a separation of processing and storage, a predefined instruction set, and an instruction execution cycle controlled by a central processing unit. The von Neumann architecture uses shared buses and a sequential control flow model. It forms the basis of modern computer programming concepts by using a control unit to interpret instructions and direct an execution unit to perform arithmetic and logic operations, accessing memory via a linear address space. A bottleneck is the speed discrepancy between the processor, memory, and input/output devices when communicating via the shared bus structure.

    Control Unit and Execution Unit

    Basis for Programming Concepts


    The Control Unit interprets instructions of the program and controls the other parts of the processor.

    Instruction register Instruction (program) counter Status register Decoder

    The execution unit carries out arithmetic and logic operations.
