The HPPANEL Procedure

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 HPPANEL procedure. You can also use the PERFORMANCE statement to control whether the HPPANEL procedure executes in single-machine or distributed mode. You can specify the following performance-options:

DETAILS

requests a table that shows a timing breakdown of the procedure 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 HPPANEL creates one thread per CPU for the analytic computations.

The PERFORMANCE statement is documented further in the section PERFORMANCE Statement in Chapter 3: Shared Concepts and Topics.
