Turing machine and V Neumann architecture



Last week we work in class about de Turing Machine and the V Neumann architecture. We saw some videos about how do Turing machines and CPUs work. A Turing machine is a theoretical computing machine invented by Alan Turing (1937) to serve as an idealized model for mathematical calculation. A Turing machine consists of a line of cells known as a "tape" that can be moved back and forth, an active element known as the "head" that possesses a property known as "state" and that can change the property known as "color" of the active cell underneath it, and a set of instructions for how the head should modify the active cell and move the tape . At each step, the machine may modify the color of the active cell and change the state of the head. After this, it moves the tape one unit to the left or right.



Here are some pictures explaining how Turing machines and CPU works:
