Microsoft R is a based on Revolution Analytics and it's multi threaded. How's does SAS & SAS Viya see it? Can it be retrained in SAS / SAS Viya?
A quick Google found this: https://mran.microsoft.com/open
Microsoft R Open is an enhanced version of R 100% compatible with R 4.0.2. So anywhere R 4.0 works in SAS, I'd expect MS R Open to also work. It's available on both Windows and Linux. I expect SAS 9.4 on Windows or Linux can use MS R Open as will Viya 4 on Linux.

Thanks I used Microsoft R in the past and wanted to start using it again.

I had concerns about the following:
1. Can SAS work with Multithreaded R. Regular R is single-threaded.
2. Can Microsoft R models be retrained in SAS or SAS Viya. I didn't see find the answer to this.
How are you planning to use R with SAS? If you have SAS on a PC I don't think there would be any harm in downloading MS R and just trying it. If you are using server-based SAS then getting it installed and trying it out wouldn't be much more effort. Multi-threading is probably only of use on servers which have the CPU resources to make use of it.
How are you planning to use R with SAS? Where do I start?
PCs today have enormous threads. I have HP Z8 with 56 threads. I have a HP Zbook with 16 threads.
I need to retrain models but I don't know if SAS can retrain Microsoft R models.
