Parallel Processing White Papers
A Parallel Processing Primer
Overview SAS has added many new features to V9.1, features that can dramatically reduce the clock-time-to-solution for jobs that are both CPU bound and/or I/O bound (clock-time-to-solution is how long a programmer has to wait to get his/her answer). Simply put, V9.1 employs a strategy of Divide and Conquer. SAS takes the code that a programmer submits and attempts to split that task into small tasks, tasks that can execute independently, and writes mini-programs called threads to execute the small-tasks. Many SAS Procs will implement threading, but to gain any benefit, the hardware must be able to execute multiple tasks independently.
