SUGI 27: Up and Out: Where We're Going with Scalability in SAS(r) Version 9
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of the ways that SAS is addressing performance through scalability in SAS Version 9. Scalability features have been implemented in many areas of SAS Version 9 to allow your applications to scale up and scale out. These include: • Multi-Process (MP) CONNECT, • the Scalable Performance Data Engine (SPDE engine), • certain SAS/ACCESS engines, • several scalable SAS procedures, • the Scalable Performance Data (SPD) Server , • the Open Metadata Server, and • the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) Server. The purpose of this paper is to describe each of these areas at a high level and explain how they can be used independently or in conjunction to maximize performance.
