Computing with the Von Neuman Model

  • bits, words
  • registers and memory
  • opcodes and ALUs

On top of that, we have:

  • assemblers and compilers
  • BIOSen, operating systems
  • Language Runtimes
  • Web Browsers
  • with Sandboxes
  • for interpreters
  • to run more code
  • ooh, I know -- Machine Emulators
    • which can run operating systems
