Accelerator is the debut album by British electronica group The Future Sound of London. It is widely regarded as their most "club-oriented" album in that almost all the tracks have a sonic, dance-friendly vibe and it does not contain much of their later, more off-beat, complex, ambient techniques.
Accelerator is a data parallel library being developed by Microsoft Research. It allows data parallel programs to be written that run on the GPU. It utilizes the DirectX runtime and shader programs to communicate with the GPU. The public API of the library is exposed using managed code.
Accelerator is the seventh studio album by the alternative rock band Royal Trux. It was released in 1998 on Drag City.
Accelerators are a form of selection-based search which allow a user to invoke an online service from any other page using only the mouse introduced by Microsoft in Internet Explorer 8. Actions such as selecting the text or other objects will give users access to the usable Accelerator services (such as blogging with the selected text, or viewing a map of a selected geographical location), which can then be invoked with the selected object. According to Microsoft, Accelerators eliminate the need to copy and paste content between web pages. IE8 specifies an XML-based encoding which allows a web application or web service to be invoked as an Accelerator service. How the service will be invoked and for what categories of content it will show up are specified in the XML file. Similarities have been drawn between Accelerators and the controversial smart tags feature experimented with in the IE 6 Beta but withdrawn after criticism (though later included in MS Office).
The Accelerator is a collection of development solutions for IBM i and Windows platforms using .NET Framework, and/or LANSA, technologies provided by Surround Technologies. The Accelerator development architecture is a tool for building Windows and Web apps within a structured framework.
The intent of the Accelerator solutions is to provide a rapid application development (RAD) environment, that produces well-designed n-tier code that can run in a client/server, web or mobile deployment. The use of Microsoft’s .NET Framework, is recommended for zero-lock in development and optimal deployment flexibility including both Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Responsive web (and mobile) design ( ASP.NET MVC / Bootstrap) clients.
The Accelerator uses customizable templates, standards and naming conventions to generate code. The generated code is human readable, and standardized to minimize testing, debugging, customization, and future maintenance efforts. The generated code follows object-oriented programming design principles, the inversion of control (IoC) pattern, observer pattern, model–view–viewmodel (MVVM, with OO techniques to avoid redundancy, promote ease of testing and maintenance). Supports ASP.NET MVC3 Framework. Other patterns followed by the architecture, or are adapted depending on the case; flexibility promoted by the typical use of abstraction patterns when practical. Abstraction is promoted though the use of Windows Presentation Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation.
Usage examples of "accelerator".
These were the silent, empty remains of the accelerator ring that had once circled the planet, that had created the antimatter that fueled its economy, that had berthed its ships, warehoused its goods, and supported the lives of eighty million people.
The last time the population of Zanshaa had heard the sound of the tocsin was when the accelerator ring had been destroyed.
Station 1 had a modest-sized accelerator ring grappled to it, like a gold band attached to a diamond.
Between the ships and the blue and white planet curved a vast section of the broken accelerator ring, a section so huge that it was impossible to tell from close up that it was a mere fragment of what had once been the greatest monument of interstellar civilization.
But in 1968 experimenters at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, making use of the increased capacity of technology to probe the microscopic depths of matter, found that protons and neutrons are not fundamental, either.
But if these muons are not sitting at rest in the laboratory and instead are traveling through a piece of equipment known as a particle accelerator that boosts them to just shy of light-speed, their average life expectancy as measured by scientists in the laboratory increases dramatically.
Veneziano, then a research fellow at CERN, the European accelerator laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, had worked on aspects of this problem for a number of years, until one day he came upon a striking revelation.
We would need an accelerator to slam matter together with energies some million billion times more powerful than any previously constructed in order to reveal directly that a string is not a point-particle.
Physicists are now constructing a mammoth accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland, called the Large Hadron Collider.
The accelerator should be ready for operation before 2010, and shortly thereafter supersymmetry may be confirmed experimentally.
I have done extensive experiments using the new Planck energy accelerator and they have revealed that this prediction is precisely confirmed.
Lance Dixon of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center made a pivotal observation in this regard that was further amplified by Wolfgang Lerche of CERN, Vafa at Harvard, and Nicholas Warner, then of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Without accelerators capable of producing Planck-scale energies, we will increasingly have to rely on the cosmological accelerator of the big bang, and the relics it has left for us throughout the universe, for our experimental data.
Men and women bright enough to run a particle accelerator the size of a small planet likewise had to be at least somewhat aware that they were being manipulated, even as they let it happen.
As our most powerful particle accelerators can reach energies only on the order of a thousand times the proton mass, less than a millionth of a billionth of the Planck energy, we are very far from being able to search in the laboratory for any of these new particles predicted by string theory.
