Every
generation has had its set of geniuses who have added to the
progression of society, whether its by inventing things, coming up
with equations, or philosophical teachings, etc. However, I cant
think of one person in history who was as incredible as John von
Neumann. John von Neumann was born to Jewish parents in Budapest,
Hungary on December 28, 1903. He was the oldest of three sons. Von
Neumanns dad was a banker and his mother was raised in a family
that profited from farming materials. Von Neumann was known to have
an extraordinary memory when he was very young. At six years old,
he had the ability to divide multiple eight-digit numbers mentally.
He was able to solve calculus at eight years old; he could recite

However, the
University had only began on a new project EDVAC, which was a
stored program
computer. He
assisted in the EDVAC project. In 1945, he created the report
First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC. This consisted of what was
to become the von Neumann stored program computer concept. The
EDVAC that was designed by the University of Penn differed from his
design. He discussed with the University people about the
university people about the design of EDVAC and the wat memory and
arithmetic materials are to be arranged. As soon as he had multiple
conversations, he started work on EDVACs logical design by
creating a high tech language that deals with programming. The
report shows a broad picture of the computer arranged with a
central arithmetic unit, an outside recording medium, an input
organ and a central control unit. The report describes the way
these parts communicate as a whole. The second time von Neumann
added to the field of computer architecture was by writing another
report Preliminary Discussion of the Logical Design of an
Electronic Computing Instrument. This document was more well-known
and it had a bigger impact than EDVACs report. This paper provided
specific details about the function of a random access memory
computer which protects, sends and analyzes data simultaneously. It
compares the advantages and disadvantages of initiation racing
circuit, gas thermionic tube, and electromechanical electrical
relay, before selecting the cathode shaft of light tube as the best
available means of putting away information. The architecture of
the adder and the multiplier are also considered. The report
adopted a systematic, scientific approach with detailed
mathematical analysis. It analyzed the storage requirements for
solving different variety of mathematical problems, such as sum and
partial first derivative
