Contract law An acceleration clause , in the law of contracts , is a term that fully matures the performance due from a party upon a breach of the contract. Such clauses are most prevalent in mortgages and similar contracts to purchase real estate in installments. Suppose, for example, the contract was for A to purchase Blackacre from B for 100,000, to be paid in 5 monthly installments of 20,000. If A makes the first two payments, but fails to make the third payment, an acceleration clause would require that A must immediately pay B the entire balance of 60,000, or lose his right to purchase Blackacre without getting a refund of his 40,000 . A sample acceleration clause reads like this In the event of default in the payment of any of the said installments or said interest when due as herein provided, time being of the essence hereof, the holder of this note may, without notice or demand, declare the entire principal sum then unpaid immediately due and payable.

unreferenced date July 2009 In computing , Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware to perform some function faster than is possible in computer software software running on the general purpose Central processing unit CPU . Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing unit s GPUs and instructions for complex operations in CPUs. Normally, processors are sequential, and instructions are executed one by one. Various techniques are used to improve performance hardware acceleration is one of them. The main difference between hardware and software is concurrency computer science concurrency , allowing hardware to be much faster than software. Hardware accelerators are designed for computationally intensive software code. Depending upon granularity, hardware acceleration can vary from a small functional unit to a large functional block like motion estimation in MPEG 2 . The hardware that performs the acceleration, when in a separate unit from the CPU, is referred to as a hardware accelerator , or often more specifically as graphics accelerator or floating point unit floating point accelerator , etc. Those terms, however, are older and have been replaced with less descriptive terms like video card or graphics card . Many hardware accelerators are built on top of field programmable gate array chips.

In SI units, it is measured in radian s per second squared rad s sup 2 sup , and is usually denoted by the Greek letter alpha letter alpha . ref http theory.uwinnipeg.ca physics circ node3.html ref Mathematical definition The angular acceleration can be defined as either math alpha frac d omega dt frac d 2 theta dt 2 math , or br math alpha frac a T r math , where math omega math is the angular velocity , math a T math is the linear tangential acceleration , and r is the distance from the origin of the coordinate system that defines math theta math and math omega math to the point of interest. Equations of motion For two dimensional rotation rotational motion , Newton s laws of motion Newton s second law Newton s second law can be adapted to describe the relation between torque and angular acceleration math tau I alpha math , where math tau math is the total torque exerted on the body, and math I math is the Moment of inertia mass moment of inertia of the body. Constant acceleration For all constant values of the torque, math tau math , of an object, the angular acceleration will also be constant. For this special case of constant angular acceleration, the above equation will produce a definitive, constant value for the angular acceleration math alpha frac tau I . math Non constant acceleration For any non constant torque, the angular acceleration of an object will change with time. The equation becomes a differential equation instead of a constant value. This differential equation is known as the equation of motion of the system and can completely describe the motion of the object. It is also the best way to calculate the angular velocity.

No footnotes date April 2009 Fermi acceleration ref M. A. Lieberman and A. J. Lichtenberg, Phys. Rev. A 5, 1852 1972 ref , sometimes referred to as diffusive shock acceleration a subclass of Fermi acceleration , is the acceleration that charge physics charged Subatomic particle particles undergo when being repeatedly reflected, usually by a magnetic mirror . This is thought to be the primary mechanism by which particles gain non thermal energies in astrophysical shock waves . It plays a very important role in many astrophysical models, mainly of shocks including solar flares and supernova remnant s. It is studied by using the Fermi Ulam model . There are two types of Fermi acceleration First order Fermi acceleration in shocks and Second Order Fermi acceleration in the environment of moving magnetized gas clouds . In both cases the environment has to be collisionless in order for the mechanism to be effective. This is because Fermi acceleration only applies to particles with energies exceeding the thermal energies, and frequent collisions with surrounding particles will cause severe energy loss and as a result no acceleration will occur. First order Fermi acceleration Shock waves typically have moving magnetic inhomogeneities both preceding and following them. Consider the case of a charged ... can cross the shock and enter the game of acceleration.

multiple issues unreferenced June 2010 orphan January 2011 mergeto Content delivery network Web accelerator date July 2010 Web acceleration is a service that accelerates the delivery of content from web sites to a computer user. Theory Web acceleration means web sites can be loaded faster, both for large file downloads and small images. Currently most pages on the internet have a Content Delivery Network CDN supporting their website. One of the functions of a CDN is to accelerate the content. The primary method of acceleration is multiple, distributed cache s. Most of the standard CDNs have a multitude of cache servers around the globe. This way, if the origin server the website where the content exists is in one location, the various cache servers across the world will get the content from the origin server and cache them in their memory RAM or hard disk . Once the content exists on a cache server and a user near that cache requests the content, it can be delivered faster. The fact that the content is closer to the user reduces the routing distance, which saves network connection time. In most CDNs, the content is cached in RAM which is optimized for speed and better performance. This provides faster access times than a hard disk cache. Web acceleration can also support encryption of HTTPS content for secure access to web pages. Performance When evaluating a CDN s web acceleration, the following performance factors are considered response time is the most important criteria number of simultaneous HTTP requests that a CDN can handle A successful CDN optimizes performance by minimizing the response time while also maximizing the number of simultaneous HTTP requests per second.

Orphan date December 2010 In physics the study of rigid body motion provides for several ways of defining the acceleration state of a rigid body. The classical definition of acceleration entails following a single particle point along the rigid body and observing its changes of velocity . In this article the notion of spatial acceleration is explored, which entails looking at a fixed unmoving point in space and observing the changes of velocity of whatever particle point happens to coincide with the observation point. This is similar to the acceleration definition fluid dynamics where typically one can measure velocity and or accelerations on a fixed locate inside a testing apparatus.

Image Sun crypto accelerator 1000.jpg thumb PCI Crypto Accelerator SSL acceleration is a method of offloading the processor intensive public key encryption algorithms involved in Transport Layer Security SSL transactions to a hardware accelerator. Typically this means having a separate card that plugs into a Conventional PCI PCI slot in a computer that contains one or more Coprocessor co processors able to handle much of the SSL processing. SSL accelerators may use off the shelf CPUs, but most use custom ASIC s and RISC chips to do most of the difficult computational work. How it works The most computationally expensive part of an SSL session is the SSL handshake, where the SSL server usually an SSL webserver and the SSL client usually a web browser agree on a number of parameters that establish the security of the connection. Part of the role of the SSL handshake is to agree on session keys symmetric keys, used for the duration of a given session , but the encryption and signature of the SSL handshake messages itself is done using asymmetric keys contained in the certificates , which requires more computational power than the symmetric cryptography used for the encryption decryption of the session data.

generalize date May 2010 Foreclosure Acceleration Advert date June 2008 refimprove date May 2010 Mortgage acceleration is a term given to the practice of paying off a mortgage loan faster than required by terms of the mortgage agreement. As interest on mortgages is compound interest compounded , early payments diminish the period needed to pay off the mortgage, and avoid a quotient of compounded interest. In addition, Foreclosure Accelerationacceleration may refer to a clause in a mortgage note that allows the mortgage holder to declare the entire debt of a Default finance defaulted mortgagor due and payable. A commonplace method of mortgage acceleration is a so called bi weekly payment plan, in which half of the normal calendar monthly payment is made every two weeks, so that 13 12 of the yearly amount due is paid per annum. Commonplace too, is the practice of making ad hoc additional payments. The agreements associated with certain mortgages preclude or penalize early payments. However, another type of mortgage acceleration concept appears to have been embraced by a variety of financial institutions and intermediaries, which offer products such as methods, software, mortgage linked checking accounts , and home equity line of credit loan facilities advertised as being capable of assisting in achieving mortgage acceleration, and available at a range of premiums. Most of these mortgage acceleration also called mortgage reduction , interest reduction or debt reduction programs or software are based on a trick. The basic claim made is that by using a particular type of loan in a particular way often following a program , the borrower can cut many years off the mortgage without making additional repayments or similarly, that although additional payments are made, the savings increase significantly due to the use of a particular loan and or strategy. The concept usually involves a type of loan that allows the borrower to use the loan as their day to day transaction account ... more details

In mathematics , series acceleration is one of a collection of sequence transformation s for improving the rate of convergence of a series mathematics series . Techniques for series acceleration are often applied in numerical analysis , where they are used to improve the speed of numerical integration . Series acceleration techniques may also be used, for example, to obtain a variety of identities on special functions . Thus, the Euler transform applied to the hypergeometric series gives some of the classic, well known hypergeometric series identities. Definition Given a sequence math S s n n in N math having a limit math lim n to infty s n ell, math an accelerated series is a second sequence math S s n n in N math which converges faster to math ell math than the original sequence, in the sense that math lim n to infty frac s n ell s n ell 0. math If the original sequence is Divergent series divergent , the sequence transformation acts as an extrapolation method to the antilimit math ell math . The mappings from the original to the transformed series may be linear as defined in the article sequence transformation s , or non linear. In general, the non linear sequence transformations tend to be more powerful. Overview Two classical techniques for series acceleration are Euler s transformation of series ref AS ref 3, eqn 3.6.27 16 ref and Kummer s transformation of series . ref AS ref 3, eqn 3.6.26 16 ref A variety of much more rapidly convergent and special case tools have been developed in the 20th century, including Richardson extrapolation , introduced by Lewis Fry Richardson in the early 20th century but also known and used by Takebe Kenko Katahiro Takebe in 1722, the Aitken delta squared process , introduced by Alexander Aitken in 1926 but also known and used by Takakazu Seki in the 18th century, the epsilon algorithm given by Peter Wynn mathematician Peter Wynn in 1956 ... conv accel.pdf Convergence Acceleration of Alternating Series , Experimental Mathematics , 9 ... more details
