while consulting for the moore school of electrical engineering at the university of pennsylvania on the edvac project, von neumann wrote an incomplete "first draft of a report on the edvac". the paper, whose premature distribution nullified the patent claims of edvac designers j. presper eckert and john mauchly, described a computer architecture in which the data and the program are both stored in the computer's memory in the same address space. this architecture is the basis of most modern computer designs, unlike the earliest computers that were "programmed" using a separate memory device such as a paper tape or plugboard. although the single-memory, stored program architecture is commonly called von neumann architecture as a result of von neumann's paper, the architecture was based on the work of eckert and mauchly, inventors of the eniac computer at the university of pennsylvania.

the principle of the modern computer was proposed by alan turing in his seminal 1936 paper,[41] on computable numbers. turing proposed a simple device that he called "universal computing machine" and that is now known as a universal turing machine. he proved that such a machine is capable of computing anything that is computable by executing instructions (program) stored on tape, allowing the machine to be programmable. the fundamental concept of turing's design is the stored program, where all the instructions for computing are stored in memory. von neumann acknowledged that the central concept of the modern computer was due to this paper.[42] turing machines are to this day a central object of study in theory of computation. except for the limitations imposed by their finite memory stores, modern computers are said to be turing-complete, which is to say, they have algorithm execution capability equivalent to a universal turing machine.early computing machines had fixed programs. changing its function required the re-wiring and re-structuring of the machine.[30] with the proposal of the stored-program computer this changed. a stored-program computer includes by design an instruction set and can store in memory a set of instructions (a program) that details the early computing machines had fixed programs. changing its function required the re-wiring and re-structuring of the machine.[30] with the proposal of the stored-program computer this changed. a stored-program computer includes by design an instruction set and can store in memory a set of instructions (a program) that details the computation.computation.ḷḷḷḷḷ
