Von Neumann Architecture

The Von Neumann Architecture is a design for how computers process information. It uses a single storage space (memory) to hold both data and instructions (programs). The computer's central processing unit (CPU) fetches instructions from memory, interprets them, and then performs the necessary operations on data. This setup allows the computer to be flexible and reprogrammed easily, since instructions and data share the same space. It forms the foundation for most modern computers, enabling programmable, efficient, and versatile computing systems.
