Abstract

This paper presents an overview of accelerating machines. We begin by exploring the history of the accelerating machine model and the potential power that it provides. We look at a number of computations that could be performed with an accelerating machine, and review various possible implementation methods that have been proposed. Finally, we expose the limitations of accelerating machines and conclude by posing some problems for further research.
