Question

What is the accessibility limitation of only one data or instruction set at a time from the memory called?

(a) Von Neumann limitation

(b) Von Neumann limit

(c) Von Neumann speed

(d) Von Neumann bottleneck

I got this question in an interview for internship.

The question is from Digital Signal Processing topic in chapter Digital Communication Techniques of Avionics

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Von Neumann bottleneck

For explanation I would say: The accessibility limitation of only one data or instruction set at a time from the memory is called as Von Neumann bottleneck. This has the effect of greatly limiting the execution speed.
