    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_machine and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_machine. – Hans W Feb 18 '10 at 12:03

    Wikipedia lost me at "The register machine gets its name from its one or more "registers" -- in place of a Turing machine's tape and head (or tapes and heads) the model uses multiple, uniquely-addressed registers, each of which holds a single positive integer." – yazz.com Feb 18 '10 at 12:07
