= Von Neumann architecture
{wiki=Von_Neumann_architecture}
The Von Neumann architecture is a computer architecture model that describes how a computer's hardware components and subsystems communicate. It was formulated by John von Neumann in the 1940s and is foundational to most computer designs today. The key features of the Von Neumann architecture include: 1. **Single Storage for Data and Instructions**: Both program instructions and data are stored in the same memory space. This allows the CPU to fetch both data and instructions from memory, which simplifies the design.
