Who is Von Neumann?
Von Neumann was the first person to suggest to concept of the stored program. This concept states that there is no difference between computer instructions and data. More importantly, he suggested that it was not necessary to have separate storage location for a computer program and data -- hence today, computer instructions are stored in primary memory for execution, along with other data.
What are three tangible data storage resources of a typical computer system?
Cache Main Memory Secondary storage Each storage provides a different speed and amount of storage which is used by the CPU for processing instructions and data.
What are the four main task that the computer performs?
fetching instructions from memorydecoding instructionsstoring instructions and data in memoryexecuting instructions that manipulate dataexecuting instructions that change the next instruction that will be fetched and/or evaluate conditionsexecuting instructions that transfer data in to or out from the computeretc.
What does it mean to run a program?
In computer terminology, "running a program" means copying a sequence of instructions from storage into main memory and initiating the execution or interpretation of those instructions.
