An accelerator is a hardware capability that is optimized for data-parallel computing. An accelerator may be a device attached to a PCIe bus (such as a GPU), or it might be an extended instruction set on the main CPU.

Remarks

An accelerator is a hardware capability that is optimized for data-parallel computing. An accelerator is often a discrete GPU, but it can also be a virtual host-side entity such as a DirectX REF device, a WARP (a CPU-side device that is accelerated by means of SSE instructions), or the CPU itself.

You can construct an accelerator object by enumerating the available devices, or by getting the default device, the reference device, or the WARP device.
