Von Neumann Architecture
In the von Neumann architecture,
data and instructions are stored in
binary form in memory, and the CPU
fetches instructions one at a time,
executes them, and moves to the
next instruction.

This architecture is the foundation of

most modern computers, including
personal computers, servers, and
many embedded systems.

The Hack ALU
To cause the ALU to compute a function, set
the control bits to one of the binary
combinations listed in the table.
