lasting impact has been John von Neumann. Through his discoveries and reports, von Neumann established his eminent von Neumann architecture that laid the foundation for computer architecture that is still in use today on modern machines. In the majority of computers today, we use the foundation of the von Neumann architecture by using the fetch-decode-execute cycle that he wrote about in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC (Reed, 2011, p. 107). Compared with other pioneers, such as Alan Turing
up until now and computer has been evolving very fast. Before computer were the size as a large room and now we can find computer as small as a book but lighter. In 1945, John von Neumann wrote "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC" in which he outlined the architecture of a stored-program computer. EDVAC which stands for (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computer. Electronic storage of programming information and data eliminated the need for the
Von Neumann architecture, or the Von Neumann model, stems from a 1945 computer architecture description by the physicist, mathematician, and polymath John von Neumann and others. This describes a design architecture for an electronic digital computer with a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter , external mass storage, subdivisions of a processing unit consisting of arithmetic logic unit and processor registers, a memory to store both data and commands, also an input
Without dragging on a long history and kill the excitements, I would just get started here, Charles Babbage created the first computing machine in 1822. He wasn’t planning to actually built a real computers that had millions of software’s in it but indeed a computer that actually solved math problem. He was sick of correcting math problems that all human brains couldn’t solve, therefore he thought of inventing something that would help him solve the headache, but then what he finally was a computer
