A Generic Method of Parallel Processing in Base SAS 8 and 9
Overview Parallel processing or multi-threading a SAS job is a mode of execution in which two or more portions of a job run in parallel streams to accelerate processing and reduce the real time to completion. Performance gain is achieved by simultaneously using multiple processors which can benefit from added CPU power as well as multiple I/O channels. For this reason multi-threading is more meaningful when the hardware has multiple CPUs such as a Unix machine or a multi-processor Windows server. The case scenario discussed in this paper is specifically for a Unix machine but the logic can be applied to Windows with some modifications for operating system differences.
