'Stored program' was the breakthrough that enabled computers to perform complex tasks in fractions of a second. Being able to do arithmetic and evaluate formulas fast would be useless if a person had to keep telling the computer what to do next. The trick was encoding the list of instructions into numbers that could coexist in the computer's memory along with data, and having a 'processor' built into the machine to decode and execute the instructions. Now the computer could do both, calculate and control the sequence of calculations, at electronic speed.
Many credit John von Neumann with devising the stored program concept, but probably several others were also involved.

What is the meaning of this term Stored Program Concept?
a program that is stored in the memory of the computer that executes it
Who invented the stored program in computer?
bill gates
Who is credited with creating the stored program computer model?
The concept of stored program was presented by Dr.John Von Neumann.
How are programs stored in a computer?
By stored-program computer, we mean a machine in which the program, as well as the data, are stored in memory, each word of which can be accessed in uniform time. Most of the high-level language programming the reader.
Why was the software invented?
The invention of software (aka computer programs) was just one part of the invention of the stored program computer in the 1940s. Without it a stored program computer is no more than a very complex and expensive electrical heater!
What must be stored in memory before the computer can manipulate the data?
PROGRAM
What needs to be stored in a computer in order for the computer to begin to operate by following the program's first instruction?
CPU
What does virus mean in computer language?
A computer program that is designed to replicate itself by copying itself into the other programs stored in a computer.
In computer science what does persistence refer to?
The term persistence in Computer Science, refers to the stored information (known as state), which outlives the executed computer program (or process). Persistence is important, without it all computer stored information would be lost whenever a computer is shut down.
When did the first computer run a program from memory?
The Manchester Baby was the first computer to run a program from memory, it ran its first program on June 21, 1948. The program was stored in a 32 word CRT based DRAM and consisted of 17 instructions; it ran for 52 minutes before reaching the correct answer of 131,072, after performing 3.5 million operations (for an effective CPU speed of 1.1 kIPS).The modified ENIAC was the second computer to run a program from memory, it ran its first program as a stored-program computer on September 16, 1948. The program was stored in the 100 word Function Table ROM switches as 2 digit instructions (allowing storage for up to 500 instructions).
Where to find cookies in computer with Mozilla Firefox?
They are stored in the program itself so you can only delete them through Firefox.
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.
