Intel Dynamic Acceleration
Encyclopedia
Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) sometimes called Dynamic Acceleration Technology (DAT) is a technology
created by Intel Corp. to boost the speed of an application
s running on one of the cores of a multi-core Intel processor. It will automatically increase the clock speed of a single core above its base operating frequency in an Intel multi-core processor if the other cores are idle. This dynamically boosts one core for the single threaded application to run on. It is designed for single threaded programs to run faster on multi-core Intel CPUs. Intel has also released a version of IDA called enhanced Dynamic Acceleration Technology (eDAT) for their quad core processors that boosts the performance of 2 cores when only 2 cores are being utilized.

Technology
Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, machinery, and procedures. The word technology comes ;...

Usage
Intel Dynamic Acceleration was first released with the Core 2 Duo mobile CPU line, as new CPUCentral processing unit
The central processing unit is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer program, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system. The CPU plays a role somewhat analogous to the brain in the computer. The term has been in...

Dual Dynamic Acceleration
With the introduction of quad core processors Intel modified IDA and released Dual Dynamic Acceleration (DDA).Intel Turbo Boost

Intel Turbo Boost
Intel Turbo Boost is a technology implemented by Intel in certain versions of their Nehalem- and Sandy Bridge-based CPUs, including Core i5 and Core i7 that enables the processor to run above its base operating frequency via dynamic control of the CPU's "clock rate". It is activated when the...
