Hardware Acceleration refers to the use of specialized hardware components to perform specific tasks more efficiently than general-purpose processors. This can include graphics processing units (GPUs) for rendering images or digital signal processors (DSPs) for processing audio and video. By offloading these tasks to dedicated hardware, systems can achieve faster performance and lower power consumption. In many applications, such as gaming, video editing, and machine learning, hardware acceleration significantly enhances speed and responsiveness. It allows software to leverage the capabilities of hardware designed for particular functions, resulting in improved overall system performance and user experience.
