IAS Von Neumann Architecture

Hi I am a computer engineer and I want to know that why does the IAS machine known as the Von Neumann Architecture so can you please help me???

Well the IAS machine was the first electronic computer to be built at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.

It is sometimes called the von Neumann machine, since the paper describing its design was edited by John von Neumann, a mathematics professor at both Princeton University and IAS.

The Von Neumann architecture, also known as the Von Neumann model and Princeton architecture, is a computer architecture based on that described in 1945 by the mathematician and physicist John von Neumann and others in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC.

IAS machines" were:
