hello,
great collection of interesting links - kudos to all! :=)
idk ... but isn't the "general" architecture of most of our computers "von neumann"!?
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_architecture
but what i miss from the various lists, is the "transputer"-architecture / ecosystem from INMOS - a concept of heavily networked arrays of small cores from the 1980ties
about transputers

i had the possibility to take a look at a "real life" ATW - atari transputer workstation - back in the days at my university / CS department :))
mainly used with the Helios operating-system

to be programmed in occam

the "atari transputer workstation" ~ more or less a "smaller" atari mega ST as the "host node" connected to an (extendable) array of extension-cards containing the transputer-chips:

- madflame991 2y ago> but isn't the "general" architecture of most of our computers "von neumann"!? That's something I was also curious about and it turns out Arduinos use the Harvard architecture. You might say Arduinos are not really "computers" but after a bit of googling I found an Apple II emulator running on an Arduino and, well, an Apple II is generally accepted to be a computer :)
- t312227 2y agohello, if i remember it correctly the main difference of the "harvard"-architecture was: it uses its own data and program/instruction buses ... * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_architecture i think texas instruments 320x0 signal-processors used this architecture ... back in, you guessed it!, the 1980ties. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS320 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS320 ah, they use a modified harvard architecture :)) * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Harvard_architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Harvard_architecture cheers!
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoOne of the most popular microcontroller series in history, Intel (and others) 8051, used a Harvard architecture.
