Physicists in California claim to be the first to implement a quantum version of the “Von Neumann” architecture found in personal computers. Based on superconducting circuits and integrated on a ...

To date, quantum computers have been implemented so that programming their operation was, in essence, hardwired into their essential structure. Although many useful demonstrations of quantum computing ...

In 1977, John Backus wrote a seminal paper titled, Can Programming Be Liberated From the von Neumann Style? In this paper, Backus defined the implications of what we refer to today as the “memory ...

The separation of memory and processor units in von Neumann architecture has been a severe conceptual constraint for further growth of traditional computing systems. Concurrently, the emergence of ...

The cost associated with moving data in and out of memory is becoming prohibitive, both in terms of performance and power, and it is being made worse by the data locality in algorithms, which limits ...
