What is a stored?program machine?

What will be an ideal response?


A stored program or von Neumann machine is a general?purpose digital computer that stores programs and data in the same memory. Instructions are processed in a two?phase cycle called fetch and execute; that is, the instruction pointed at by the program counter (also called the instruction pointer) is read from memory, fetched into the computer, decoded, and then executed. Since an instruction might be of the form LOAD X or STORE Y, or ADD Z,5, a second memory access may take place to read or write to the operand in memory.
