SAS Grid computing has been around for a while, and while there is a lot of information available on SAS Grid, I found it incredibly hard to get a succinct view on how you would and wouldn’t deploy SAS Grid in an environment.
This series will outline what I found. I will add each article as I have time over the coming weeks.
Articles:
- SAS Grid – What is it?
- High performance computing, SAS Grid vs SAS High Performance Computing vs In Database processing
- How does SAS Grid work?
- What about the non Grid aware SAS client tools?
- How do I monitor my Grid?
- SAS Grid Documentation
Shane,
I’d highly recommend attending the Grid training that SAS offers employees and partners. I agree, the GRID setup is already difficult, so when you add trying to get through the various documentation it will be next to impossible without the training.

Hi Angela
I have done the LSF Platform Grid course and also read the Grid client course notes, but yes agree that trying to implement, configure or utilise a Grid environment without this training is not a good idea.
Cheers

SAS Grid Computing is highlighted under Scalability and Performance Focus Area on the SAS Support Website. Refer: http://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/grid/index.html
It includes benchmarks, SGF papers, technical documents, etc.
Thanks.
