Neumann architecture

Neumann architecture is a design for computers where data and instructions are stored in the same memory space. It consists of a central processing unit (CPU) that fetches instructions and data from memory, processes them, and then stores the results back. This setup allows the computer to perform a wide range of tasks flexibly. The key idea is that the system uses a single shared memory and a common bus to move data and instructions, making the machine adaptable and programmable. This architecture forms the foundation of most modern computers.
