The registers and key elements of the Von Neumann architecture all play a part in how an instruction is processed in the fetch-decode-execute cycle.

Using the registers and the key elements of the Von Neumann architecture, we can now look at how an instruction is processed in the fetch-execute cycle.

It makes clear that similar concepts were often pursued simultaneously and that the early researchers explored many architectures beyond the von Neumann architecture that eventually became canonical.

As Moore's Law plateaus, this group looks beyond traditional CMOS-based computing logic and the decades-old von Neumann architecture to meet the rapid pace of innovation needed to satisfy DOE’s ...
