The HPIMPUTE Procedure
PROC HPIMPUTE provides a vehicle for the parallel execution of imputation. The following list summarizes the basic features of PROC HPIMPUTE:
-
provides the ability to execute imputation
-
manages data migration to the location of execution and movement back to the client machine as needed
Because the HPIMPUTE procedure is a high-performance analytical procedure, it also does the following:
-
enables you to run in distributed mode on a cluster of machines that distribute the data and the computations
-
enables you to run in single-machine mode on the server where SAS is installed
-
exploits all the available cores and concurrent threads, regardless of execution mode
