Parallel Processing White Papers
Multiprocessing With Version 8 of the SAS System
Overview With the ever increasing need to get more done in the same amount of time, naturally one wants the computer applications to take advantage of the multi-processors available in many of today's desktop and server platforms as well as to be able to multi-process across platforms available in a network. By dividing time-consuming tasks into multiple independent units of work and executing these independent units of work in parallel, a job can be performed in substantially less time than if each task is performed sequentially. A new feature has been added to Version 8 of the SAS System that allows the SAS jobs to take advantage of SMP hardware and to also allow parallel processing with the remote hosts in one's network.
