- Accelerator Form and Function - Explains what they are used for, the different types, and how they work. A virtual tour from Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
- JP Accelerator Works Inc - Design, develop and service linear accelerators and their associated technology. Includes an overview of products and services, links to affiliated companies, and a section on how linear accelerators work.
- IMDb: Web-accelerators - Commentary against the use of Web-accelerators. "Web-accelerators are a nuisance, they are counterproductive and they are a danger to some web servers and the infrastructure of the web itself. The more people use these products the slower the web will become and web surfers will perceive a need for more of these snake oil products."

Wikipedia Articles
- Fermi acceleration - Fermi acceleration, sometime referred to diffusive shock acceleration (which is actually a subclass of Fermi acceleration), is the acceleration that charged particles undergo when reflected by a magnetic mirror. This is thought to be the primary mechanism by which particles gain energy beyond the thermal energy in astrophysical shock waves.
- Hardware acceleration - In computing, hardware acceleration is the use of hardware to perform some function faster than is possible in software running on the normal (general purpose) CPU. Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing units (GPUs) and instructions for complex operations in CPUs.
- Particle acceleration - In a compressible sound transmission medium - mainly air - air particles get an accelerated motion: the particle acceleration or sound acceleration with the symbol a in metre/second². In acoustics or physics, acceleration (symbol: a) is defined as the rate of change (or time derivative) of velocity.
- XFree86 Acceleration Architecture - In the X Window System, XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) is a driver architecture to make a video card's 2D hardware acceleration available to the X server. It was written by Harm Hanemaayer in 1996 and first released in XFree86 version 3.
- Supernova/Acceleration Probe - The Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) Mission is expected to provide an understanding of the mechanism driving the acceleration of the universe. The satellite observatory would be capable of measuring up to 2,000 distant supernovae each year of its three-year mission lifetime.
