  1. How to use multiple cores in SAS? Prof. Eric A. Suess Department of Statistics

  2. Dual Core Processors • One of the new technologies in desktop computers are dual core processors • The other is 64 bit computing • Fry’s Ads

  3. Dual Core Processors AMD

  4. Dual Core Processors Intel

  5. What is the difference? • The Windows Task Manager gives two CPU Usage Histories

  6. Windows Task Manager Was

  7. Windows Task Manager Now

  8. SAS Options • Using the OPTIONS in SAS you can access both Processor Cores to take advantage of the parallel processing capabilities in SAS • OPTIONS THREADS = YES CPUCOUNT = 2

  9. No activity

  10. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=1;

  11. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=1;

  12. No Activity

  13. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=2;Data Step

  14. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=2;Proc Means

  15. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=2;Proc Sort

  16. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=2;Proc Means

  17. No Activity

  18. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=1;

  19. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=4; Proc Means

  20. OPTIONS THREADS=YES CPUCOUNT=4; Proc Sort

  21. Consider using your CPUCOUNT • To fully utilize the CPU power in your computer and to utilize the parallel processing capabilities in SAS PROCs such as PROC MEANS and PROC SORT consider using the SAS OPTIONs THREADS AND CSPUCOUNT
