 [Accelerate](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Accelerate/Reference/AccelerateFWRef/_index.html) is a framework that provides high-performance functions for matrix math, digital signal processing, and image manipulation. It harnesses [SIMD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD) instructions available in modern CPUs to significantly improve performance of certain calculations.
