If I understand correctly modern computers are modeled after the Von Neumann architecture. I have sometimes seen reference to alternatives, but haven't really seen any very good descriptions of how non-Von Neumann architectures would be organised and function.
Does anyone have any examples? What are the advantages/disadvantages of alternative computer organization?

non von Neumann architecture Any computer architecture in which the underlying model of computation is different from what has come to be called the standard von Neumann model (see von Neumann machine).
MONITOR is not a component of Von Neumann Architecture Von Neumann Architecture. His computer architecture design consists of a Control Unit, Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU), Memory Unit, Registers and Inputs/Outputs.
Examples of non von Neumann machines are the dataflow machines and the reduction machines. In both of these cases there is a high degree of parallelism, and instead of variables there are immutable bindings between names and constant values. non von Neumann is usually reserved for machines that represent a radical departure from the von Neumann model, and is therefore not normally applied to multiprocessor or multicomputer architectures, which effectively offer a set of cooperating von Neumann machines.
