The von Neumann architecture, a foundational computer design, posits a memory system that stores both instructions and data. This architecture features a central coordination unit and a central computing unit, essentially a single core and thread CPU. While modern machines have evolved with multiple cores and threads, they remain inefficient for computationally intensive tasks like multiplying large matrices, which are crucial for AI, due to their limited instruction set focused on basic arithmetic operations. AI
