Term Of The Day: Vectorization WHAT IS VECTORIZATION? Vectorization is a parallel computing method that compiles repetitive program instructions into a single vector (combination of multiple datasets), which is then executed simultaneously and maximizes computer speed. Vectorization is an example of single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processing because it executes a single operation (e.g., addition, division) over a large dataset. Today, vectorization is a critical micro-process and universally present in modern computers. HOW DOES VECTORIZATION WORK? Vectorization starts with the understanding the downside of scalar programming—the process of operating on a dataset sequentially. For example, a developer writes a for-loop to add two sets of numbers [a,b] to get a result [c]. In early computing, computers did just that, repeating the addition of a and b pairs one after another. Because these processes take place sequentially, the time needed to complete the program can be massive, depending on the datasets’ size. This excess runtime is no problem for most users for a small set of numbers, but the simple repeated instruction means lost time and energy when working with large datasets. Using applications that automatically detect and convert scalar instructions into vectorized implementations, computers can drastically decrease runtime processing. Most computers today contain automatic vectorization abilities and multi-core CPUs, which mean order of magnitude performance gains. |
A: The qualifications to get a job as an accountant with no experience include education, analytical and mathematical skills, and good interpersonal communication abilities. In terms of education, you need a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics, or statistics.
A: Any job related to accounting and bookkeeping tasks such as preparing financial statements, cash collections and recording, disbursement, purchasing, and internal audit qualify as experience.
A: Gaining the necessary experience
involves the use of consulting, tax, financial advisory, management advisory, compilation, attest or accounting skills.
Be gained through employment in government, private industry or public industry. Employment in academia does not fulfill the requirement.
Generally, an accountant or owner oversees a bookkeeper's work. A bookkeeper is not an accountant, nor should they be considered an accountant. Bookkeepers record financial transactions, post debits and credits, create invoices, manage payroll, and maintain and balance the books.
A: Good organizational abilities. Excellent numerical and analytical skills. Knowledge of accounting and financial reporting competencies. Proficiency in MS Office and competency in computer software is great experience to have as well.
A: Having the ability to manage multiple projects, timelines, business needs, reporting deadlines, filing deadlines and personalities - that's a hard skill to master.
A: Certified Management Accountants must have two years of experience in management accounting and pass an examination offered by the Institute of Management Accountants.
A: Revenue Recognition Principle
Cost Principle.
Matching Principle
Full Disclosure Principle
Objectivity Principle
A: Many accountants are leaving the profession due to dissatisfaction with pay and benefits. A recent survey found that nearly one-third of respondents said they were not satisfied with their current salary, and nearly half said they were not satisfied with their benefits.
A: The overall CPA Exam pass rates hover slightly below 50%. This makes passing the CPA Exam a difficult, but achievable, goal. You'll need to study wisely, set a strategy for managing your time, and call on your support network, but with the right plan and good study materials, you will conquer it.
A: Junior accountant.
An entry-level accounting position, usually reporting to any of the higher level accounting positions, or in smaller companies, to the controller. They may or may not have a bachelor's degree, and their main responsibilities will usually include reconciling accounts and preparing preliminary reports.
