It's a gift horse, and you say it needs dental work? ;-) I think most of the essentials remain true today. As for hardware accelerators, they're all some variation of SIMD or an ASIC built to run a specific algorithm. Von Neumann stuck us with the program counter, and all the waiting that comes along with it. It's almost impossible to walk away from his legacy. |

As opposed to what? A stack of program counters? A set of registers containing program counters? Von Neumann seems related to this as much as the fact that you can only beat one person with a single stick.
