What that means in practice is instead of executing a series of instructions like von Neumann designs, its architecture “expresses programs as a 'circuit' of instructions that shows which ...

program counter (PC) - holds the memory address of the next instruction to be fetched from primary memory memory address register (MAR) - holds the address of the current instruction that is to be ...

Most general purpose computers are based on von Neumann architecture. This includes using the fetch-decode-execute cycle to process program instructions. Computer performance depends on cache size ...

Von Neumann figured out instead how to store programs as software in computer memory, which would become the basic architecture for how modern computers work. He was also pioneer of game theory ...
