   Once again:   
      
   | Von Neumann consulted for the Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory, most   
   | notably on the ENIAC project,[274] as a member of its Scientific Advisory   
   | Committee.[275] Although the single-memory, stored-program architecture is   
   | commonly called von Neumann architecture, the architecture was based on   
   | the work of J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, inventors of ENIAC and its   
   | successor, EDVAC. While consulting for the EDVAC project at the University   
   | of Pennsylvania, von Neumann wrote an incomplete "First Draft of a Report   
   | on the EDVAC". The paper, whose premature distribution nullified the   
   | patent claims of Eckert and Mauchly, described a computer, that stored   
   | both its data and its program in the same address space, unlike the   
   | earliest computers which stored their programs separately on paper tape or   
   | plugboards. This architecture became the basis of most modern computer   
   | designs.
