Turing-machine-like structures in a V Neumann architecture

Hi everyone! One more time!
Today in this post I am going to talk about “The similarities between the structure of a Turing machine and a V Neumann architecture”. Do you know any of the similarities between them? If you don’t, keep calm, I will help  you with some concepts that I found when I saw some videos in the NTYCX class.
So first, What do you think that a Turing machine is? In 1936 Alan Turing (who had a Decision Problem) created the Turing machine.The Turing machine is the atecedent of all modern computers, it is an abstract mathematical object that can decide infinite operations. So they can describe any possible problem, computing everything.
It decides if a mathematical problem is it right or wrong and it was the basis to build the modern CPU!Deciding like this, what computable is.
The structure of a Turing machine looks like that:

And obviously now you want to know how they work.
First you give The Input, a strip of tape that we call memory that is coded in a tape with 0 and 1. Than the CPU (like the brain of the computer) processes the input.
One by one and then the machine reads the numbers 0 and 1.This is the output, what you see then as an awser to the Input.
The CPU:

Here you have one of the videos that I saw in the last class to understand "How did the CPU works"
I think that this video can help you to understand it better:

                    


And this is my Mindmap that I create with "Mindomo":

(You have to click on Mindomo in the Mindmap to see it better)

Make your own mind maps with Mindomo.


So now! Which similarities did the Turing machine and the CPU have?

I hope this blog helps you to find what you want!
Stay tuned!
