What is the Von Neumann concept?
The von Neumann architecture is a computer design model that uses a processing unit and a single separate storage structure to hold both instructions and data. It is named after mathematician and early computer scientist John von Neumann. Such a computer implements a universal Turing machine, and the common "referential model" of specifying sequential architectures, in contrast with parallel architectures. The term "stored-program computer" is generally used to mean a computer of this design, although as modern computers are usually of this type, the term has fallen into disuse.Source:Wikipedia.orgURL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture
Who invented the concept of stored program why is this concept so important?
Nobody actually knows, except that it was being discussed on the ENIAC project before John von Neumann was introduced to the project. John von Neumann gets credit because of a distribution mistake, after he wrote the first paper on the concept. It is important because all modern computers are based on some variant of it.
What did John Von Neumann invent?
The mathematician John Von Neumann was involved in several key projects. He was a consultant on the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), designed and constructed at the University of Pennsylvania, which was the world's first general-purpose electronic digital computer. The major credit for the ENIAC however, is generally given to John Mauchly, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and John Eckert, one of his graduate students. The major drawback of the ENIAC was that it had to be programmed manually by setting switches and plugging and unplugging cables. The next major advance was the stored-program concept, which is attributed to the ENIAC designers but most especially to von Neumann. The first publication of the idea was in a 1945 proposal by von Neumann for a new computer, the EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Computer). The EDVAC was never built, but in 1946, von Neumann and his colleagues began the design of a new stored-program computer, referred to as the IAS computer, at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies. The IAS computer, although not completed until 1952, is the prototype of all subsequent general-purpose computers. So the answer to your question is that von Neumann, with help from others, invented the concept of the store-program computer and then developed (you could say invented) the IAS computer.
How did Islamic architecture differ from Persians architecture?
Islamic architecture is a term used to describe the architecture people created as an application of Islamic principles, and an application of how religion can shape buildings. in that sense Persian architecture is the interpretation of the people in the Persian region and how they shaped their building according to their own understanding to Islam. It is not purely shaped by Islam, but also influenced by the region culture and climate. Note that Persian architecture is a regional architecture, where Islamic architecture can be anywhere in the world.
