Optimizing Performance

Introduction to Optimizing Performance

SAS software includes many features that can help you manage CPU, memory, and I/O resources effectively. The following sections describe features that are either specific to z/OS or that have characteristics that are specific to z/OS. The information is applicable to your site whether you run SAS interactively or in batch mode.

For additional information about optimizing SAS performance under z/OS, see Tuning SAS Applications in the MVS Environment, by Michael Raithel (available through SAS as part of the Books by Users program).

For information about optimizing SAS performance on any host operating system, see SAS Language Reference: Concepts and SAS Programming Tips: A Guide to Efficient SAS Processing.
