PERFORMANCE Statement :: SAS/ETS(R) 13.1 User's Guide: High-Performance Procedures

PERFORMANCE Statement

PERFORMANCE <performance-options> ;

The PERFORMANCE statement specifies performance-options to control the multithreaded and distributed computing environment and requests detailed performance results of the HPCOPULA procedure. You can also use the PERFORMANCE statement to control whether the HPCOPULA procedure executes in SMP or MPP mode. You can specify the following performance-options:

DETAILS: requests a table that shows a timing breakdown of the PROC HPCOPULA steps.
NODES=n: specifies the number of nodes in the distributed computing environment, provided that the data are not processed alongside the database.
NTHREADS=n: specifies the number of threads for analytic computations and overrides the SAS system option THREADS | NOTHREADS. If you do not specify the NTHREADS= option, PROC HPCOPULA creates one thread per CPU for the analytic computations.

For more information about the PERFORMANCE statement, see the section PERFORMANCE Statement in Chapter 3: Shared Concepts and Topics.
