👉 Marshall computing refers to the early architecture of a central processing unit (CPU) that integrated memory and processing functions, developed in the 1940s by John Marshall at the University of California, Berkeley. This innovative design allowed for a more efficient and compact computing system by eliminating the need for separate memory units, thus streamlining data access and reducing latency. In Marshall architecture, the CPU contains both the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit, with memory directly connected to the ALU, enabling faster data processing. This architecture was pivotal in the evolution of early computers, laying foundational principles for modern computing systems by demonstrating the benefits of integrated memory and processing.
