Stack oriented architectures are compared with register file oriented architectures in order to decide what is the best for building cellular programmable machines. Area & power vs. computing performance are investigated considering two kind of "users": (i) a compiler, which is another machine, and (ii) a human mind, writing hand coded programs.
