High Speed Sync is a proprietary capability that is limited to shoe mountable flash that can communicate with the camera via the hot shoe pins.
Hyper Sync is a Pocket Wizard manipulation of the sync timing intended to turn the tail of the monolight's flash into a shot duration continuous light for the image. The ControlTL firmware permits adjusting the timing to optimize the benefit.
Ironically, less expensive monolights tend to have longer tails and thus work better for hyper sync.
As for the Acute B2, only testing will tell you what is optimum.
