The JVM is a stack based virtual machine, for which you can find many
compilers to (Moscow ML comes to mind for functional languages.)
The PicoJava II is a processor that runs the JVM ISA, and hence is
stack based. According to Structured Computer Organization by
Tannebaum, it does instruction folding combined with a large number of
internal registers to get around the stack problems. (If you're
looking for information on the level of an undergraduate textbook on
general computer systems, it also has nice information about the
design of stack based chip.)
