You may wish to read Appendix D (Abstract Machine design and
reference) of the Implementor's Guide for the scripting language
Pawn. You can obtain a copy at
http://www.compuphase.com/pawn/pawn-imp.pdf
The author demonstrates with examples how register-based
interpreters are more readily optimized than stack-based
interpreters.
The author lists Lua as a stack-based interpreter, but since
version 5.0, Lua is register-based.
