Von Neumann Architecture: The History of the Term

The von Neumann machine architecture, also known as the von Neumann model, or Princeton architecture, is based on a technique described in 1945 by mathematician and physicist John von Neumann as part of the First Project report on the EDVAC computer.

Architecture von Neumann




Architecture scheme

The von Neumann report described an architecture diagram for an electronic digital computer with parts consisting of processing units, which contains:

  • arithmetic-logical device;
  • register processor;
  • a control unit comprising a command register and a command counter;
  • a storage device for storing data;
  • external storage device;
  • input and output mechanisms.
