A simulator of the Von Neumann machine.
This simulator is meant to be a solution for students and teachers to study how a Von Neumann Machine works.
Online version: vnmsim.c2r0b.ovh
Windows, Linux and MacOS desktop version: releases
This simulator is fully compatible with the most common commands for the Von Neumann Machine. It is able to load data (LOD), store it (STO), do additions (ADD), subtractions (SUB), multiplications (MUL), divisions (DIV) and perform jumps (JMZ/JMP).
A guide to the simulator is also available from the Help section accessible from the menu of the simulator itself.
The simulator is developed as a NextJS app developed using React, Redux, Typescript and Rust. The code editor uses CodeMirror.
The chosen design framework is FluentUI by Microsoft.
The offline version of the simulator is built using Tauri.
After downloading the repository and installing the dependencies using npm install, a simple npm run dev is enough to start a compiled and live updated version at localhost:3000.
The simulator is available in multiple languages using Transifex.
If you want to contribute to the translation of the simulator, you can do it here.
The previous version written in AngularJS is available in the old repository.
In 2015 a different simulator of the Von Neumann machine inspired by this one has been developed for Zanichelli Editor S.p.A. as an extension of the work of Giorgio Meini, Fiorenzo Formichi: "Tecnologie e progettazione di sistemi informatici e di telecomunicazioni".
If you were looking for that simulator (available only in italian), you can download it here.
