Ever since my PhD work (where I worked with some pretty obscure computing architectures), the phrase “Von Neumann Architecture” makes think immediately of D H Lehmer’s quote [1] on working with ENIAC:
> Can we use the high speed computer to do the sieve process? This was a highly parallel machine, before von Neumann spoiled it.
