Key Features of a Von Neumann Machine

Key Features of a Von Neumann Machine:
》The Von Neumann machine uses stored program concept.The program and data are stored in the same unit. The computers prior to this used to store programs and data in separate memories. Entering and modifying these programs were very difficult as they were entered manually.
》Each location of the memoy can be addressed independently.
》Execution of instruction in Von Neumann machine is carried out in a sequential fashion (unless explicitly altered by the program itself from one instruction to the next.
