In a computer 's central processing unit (CPU), an accumulator is a register in which intermediate arithmetic and logic results are stored.ccess to main memory is slower than access to a register like the accumulator because the technology used for the large main memory is slower (but cheaper) than that used for a register. Early electronic computer systems were often split into two groups, those with accumulators and those without.
A working example of this type of accumulator may be found at the hydraulic engine house, Bristol Harbour. The external accumulator was added around 1920. The water is pumped from the harbour into a header tank and then fed by gravity to the pumps. The working pressure is 750 psi (5.2 MPa, or 52 bar) which is used to power the cranes, bridges and locks of Bristol Harbour.
