This document presents an overview and preliminary performance analysis of the D-Wave hybrid solver service (HSS), available from the Leap quantum cloud service. We survey the benefits of taking a hybrid quantum-classical approach to computation and introduce the concept of quantum acceleration to describe the type of computational speedups that may be observed. A comparison of one hybrid solver from the HSS portfolio to a collection of state-of-the art classical alternatives show that the solver performs well on a variety of input structures.
