IBM Power® Systems for SAS® Empowers Advanced Analytics Harry Seifert, Laurent Montaron, IBM Corporation
Paper 4695-2020 IBM Power® Systems for SAS® Empowers Advanced Analytics Harry Seifert, Laurent Montaron, IBM Corporation ABSTRACT For over 40+ years of partnership between IBM and SAS®, clients have been benefiting from the added value brought by IBM’s infrastructure platforms to deploy SAS analytics, and now SAS Viya’s evolution of modern analytics. IBM Power® Systems and IBM Storage empower SAS environments with infrastructure that does not make tradeoffs among performance, cost, and reliability. The unified solution stack, comprising server, storage, and services, reduces the compute time, controls costs, and maximizes resilience of SAS environment with ultra-high bandwidth and highest availability. INTRODUCTION We will explore how to deploy SAS on IBM Power Systems platforms and unleash the full potential of the infrastructure, to reduce deployment risk, maximize flexibility and accelerate insights. We will start by reviewing IBM and SAS’s technology relationship and the current state of SAS products on IBM Power Systems. Then we will look at some of the infrastructure options to deploy SAS 9.4 on IBM Power Systems and IBM Storage, while maximizing resiliency & throughput by leveraging best practices. Next, we will look at SAS Viya, which introduces changes to the underlying infrastructure requirements while remaining able to be deployed alongside a traditional SAS 9.4 operation. We’ll explore the various deployment modes available. Finally, we’ll look at tuning practices and reference materials available for a deeper dive in deploying SAS on IBM platforms. SAS: 40 YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP WITH IBM IBM and SAS have been partners since the founding of SAS.

GSI Local Guide
UNIX Primer GSI Local Guide GSI Computing Center Version 2.0 This is draft version !!! Preface: More than one year ago, we published our ®rst version of the Unix primer, which has been used in the meantime by many people at GSI and even in the outside HEP community. Nowadays, as more and more physicists have access to a Unix computer either via a X-terminal or use their own workstation, and as the installed computing power has increased by a large factor, we have revised the ®rst version of our Unix primer. We tried to re¯ect the changes in the installedhardware, like the installationof the 11 machine AIX cluster, and the installationof new software products, as the batch system for job submission, new backup and restore products and the graphics system IDL. Almost all chapters have been revised, and some have undergone substantial changes like the introduction, the section about experimental data and tape handling and the chapter about the editors, where more editors are described in detail. Although many topics are still missing or could be improved, we decided to publishthe second edition of the Unix primer now in order to give a guide to the rapidly increasing Unix user community at GSI. As for the ®rst edition, many people again have contributed to this document: Wolfgang Ahner, Eliete Bertulani, Michael Dahlinger, Matthias Feyerabend, Ingo Giese, Horst GÈoringer, Eva Hocks, Peter Malzacher, Udo Meyer, Kerstin Schiebel, Kay Winkler and Heiko Weber. Preface for Version 1.0: In early summer 1991 the GSI Computing Center started a Unix Pilot Project investigating the hardware and software possibilities of centrally operated unix workstation systems.
