System Requirements
SAS® High-Performance Optimization 14.3

Overview

To keep pace with changes to third-party technologies, SAS has adopted a general policy of supporting one or more baseline major versions, subsequent minor updates, and subsequent major versions for each officially supported operating system. Only the supported baseline major versions are listed in this document. The full SAS Support policy governing third-party software can be found at https://support.sas.com/en/documentation/third-party-software-reference/baseline-and-higher.html.

As part of this policy, SAS strongly encourages customers to install the latest operating-system service packs.

SAS High-Performance Optimization Requirements

SAS/OR High-Performance Server

Select a platform:

SAS/OR High-Performance Server requires both Base SAS and SAS/OR, which are separately licensed.

One of the following platform-dependent components of Base SAS is required but not included:

  • SAS Studio – Single User (Windows only)
  • SAS Studio Basic (multiple platforms)

SAS/OR High-Performance Server includes one of the following SAS/ACCESS products:

  • SAS/ACCESS to Greenplum
  • SAS/ACCESS to Oracle
  • SAS/ACCESS to Teradata
  • SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop and SAS LASR Analytic Server

The High-Performance Computing Management Console subcomponent is only deployed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux computing grid.

SAS LASR Analytic Server is required to enable SAS High-Performance Analytics (Distributed LASR) with Hadoop.

SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed or Non-distributed LASR) cannot be installed on HP-UX for IPF or 32-bit Windows.

For Greenplum, Oracle, and Teradata: Base SAS, SAS/STAT, ACCESS, and SAS High-Performance Optimization must be installed on separate hardware from the appliance nodes.

For Hadoop: Base SAS, SAS/STAT, ACCESS, and SAS High-Performance Optimization can either be installed on the head node of the commodity hardware, or on separate hardware from the commodity hardware nodes (asymmetric).

SAS High-Performance Analytics Server (Distributed LASR) on Linux for x64

SAS Products installed on this machine:
  • SAS High-Performance Computing Management Console 2.9
  • SAS High-Performance Node Installation 3.7
  • SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop 1.01

Disk Space Consumed by Installed Products: 1.2 GB
Supported Environments:
  • Oracle Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family

SAS High-Performance Analytics Server supports Greenplum, Oracle, or Teradata (appliance obtained from vendor) or Hadoop (commodity hardware). A corresponding SAS/ACCESS engine is required (and included with the SAS/OR High-Performance Server).

Use of a colocated Hadoop File System (HDFS) is optional, but it requires a supported Hadoop environment and SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop (which are included with your license). For information about supported Hadoop distributions, refer to https://support.sas.com/en/documentation/third-party-software-reference/9-4/support-for-hadoop.html. The plug-ins require additional configuration.
