What is Stack CPU also known as?
Answers
In computer science, computer engineering and programming language implementations, a stack machine is a mode of computation where executive control is maintained wholly through append (push), readoff and truncation (pop), of a first-in-last-out (FILO, also last-in-first-out or LIFO) memory buffer, known as a stack.
Explanation:
In computer science, computer engineering and programming language implementations, a stack machine is a mode of computation where executive control is maintained wholly through append (push), readoff and truncation (pop), of a first-in-last-out (FILO, also last-in-first-out or LIFO) memory buffer, known as a stack, requiring very few processor registers. A stack machine is sufficient to coordinate operation of an entire computer and operating system, for example the Burroughs B5000, may define a particular software program, for example the interpreter for Adobe's PostScript print formatting language, or may be used in only part of the execution thread of a program.
