A stored-program computer is a computer that stores program instructions in electronically or optically accessible memory.[1] This contrasts with systems that stored the program instructions with plugboards or similar mechanisms.
The definition is often extended with the requirement that the treatment of programs and data in memory be interchangeable or uniform.[2][3][4]
