Is that another term for a stack machine? I haven't heard of an accumulator cpu before ...

A CPU with an accumulator register (default locations that accepts the result for each instruction and is usually one of the operands in each new instruction.)

I guess that is a bit less capable than an actual stack machine like FORTH but sort of the starting point of this programming mentality (at least as I think of it.)
