Stored Program Concept

CM303.14 3
Introduction Contd.,

ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer)


• An early computer
• Used vacuum tubes technology
• Used decimal system
• Had a set of accumulators

CM303.14 4
Contd.,
ENIAC
• Programmed manually by setting switches
and plugging and unplugging cables

• Programs and data were stored in separate


memories

CM303.14 5
ENIAC
• Major drawbacks
• Manual programming process
• Very difficult to enter or change programs
• Slow and inflexible system

CM303.14 6
Stored program concept
Contd.,
• Idea of storing programs and necessary data in
the same high speed memory

• Developed by John Von Neumann

• First implemented in EDVAC (Electronic


Discrete Variable Computer)

CM303.14 7
Stored program concept
Contd.,

• Eliminates reading instructions from relatively


slow input medium

• Stores instructions in successive memory


locations

• Execution occurs in sequential order from one


instruction to next

CM303.14 8
Stored program concept

• Requires large main memory and secondary


memory

• Needs several high speed registers
