Line 1:
Consensus on a particular programming model is important as it enables software expressed within it to be transportable between different architectures. The [[von Neumann model]] has facilitated this with sequential architectures as it provides an efficient ''bridge'' between hardware and software, meaning that high-level languages can be efficiently compiled to it and it can be efficiently implemented in hardware.<ref name="Valiant1990">Leslie G.
