Within computing, hardware acceleration is the apply of of hardware to perform some work sooner than is conceivable inside computer software running off on the normal CPU. Examples of devices acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality within graphics processing units (GPUs) and videos for complex operations inside CPUs.

the devices that performs a acceleration, when in a separate unit from either the CPU, is known as a devices accelerator, or even typically other specifically when graphics accelerator or floating-point accelerator, etc. People terms even so come out-of-date & own been replaced by using further descriptive terms prefer video card or graphics card.
