    A major defining point in the history of computing was the realisation in 1944–1945 that data and instructions to manipulate data were logically the same and could be stored in the same place. The computer design built upon this principle, which became known as the von Neumann Architecture, is still the basis for computer today. Although the name honours John von Neumann, a brilliant mathematician who worked on the construction of the atomic bomb, the idea probably originated with J. Presper Echkert and John Mauchly, two other early pioneers who worked on the ENIAC at the Moore School at the University of Pennsylvania during the same time period.

    A major defining point in the history of computing was the realisation in 19441945 that data and
    instructions to manipulate data were logically the same and could be stored in the same place. The
    computer design built upon this principle, which became known as the von Neumann Architecture, is still
    the basis for computer today. Although the name honours John von Neumann, a brilliant mathematician
    who worked on the construction of the atomic bomb, the idea probably originated with J. Presper
    Echkert and John Mauchly, two other early pioneers who worked on the ENIAC at the Moore School at
    the University of Pennsylvania during the same time period.
