SAS
offers tools to control the use of memory and other computer resources.
Most SAS applications will run efficiently in your operating environment
without using these features. However, if you develop applications
under the following circumstances, you might want to experiment with
tuning performance:
-
You work with large data sets.
-
You create production jobs that
run repeatedly.
-
You are responsible for establishing
performance guidelines for a data center.
-
You do interactive queries on large
SAS data sets using
SAS/FSP software.
