Intel Dynamic Acceleration
open-in-new
<p>Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) sometimes called Dynamic Acceleration Technology (DAT) is a <a href="/facts/Technology/9Uav5WVR">technology</a> created by <a href="/facts/Intel/SMF0gJJX">Intel Corp.</a> in certain <a href="/facts/Multi-core_processor/ABNb65hQ">multi-core</a> <a href="/facts/List_of_Intel_microprocessors/gBqeUglP">Intel microprocessors</a>. It increases the <a href="/facts/Clock_rate/w055Woaj">clock rate</a> of a single core for every two cores above its base operating frequency if the other cores are idle. It is designed for <a href="/facts/Single_threading/hh8WHyPd">single threaded</a> <a href="/facts/Computer_program/e38jH9N9">programs</a> to run faster on multi-core Intel microprocessors. Intel later released a version of IDA called enhanced Dynamic Acceleration Technology (eDAT) for its <a href="/facts/Multi-core_processor/ABNb65hQ">quad core processors</a> that boosts the performance of 2 cores when only 2 cores are being utilized. </p>
