I don't know where to begin. I've never seen CUDA or worked with it before, but it would seem to speed up non linear problem sets. Any suggestions on where I could start? Is this even possible in EG?
Why are you asking this question - what problem do you have with a SAS Optimization Model? You could at least explain what you mean by CUDA. A quick Google search came up with this Wikipedia entry which is what I guess you mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA
CUDA (or Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing units (GPUs) for general purpose processing, an approach called general-purpose computing on GPUs (GPGPU). CUDA is a software layer that gives direct access to the GPU's virtual instruction set and parallel computational elements, for the execution of compute kernels.[1]
I doubt very much that CUDA will work with SAS. For starters it uses GPUs which are only present on high-end video cards. Servers don't have GPUs so it wouldn't even be an option if you are using SAS on a server.
In Optimization Models I never seen , but by FCMP you can use cuda with sas. In servers sas Viya you can to use a conteiner for example in azure with GPU.
Are you ready for the spotlight? We're accepting content ideas for SAS Innovate 2025 to be held May 6-9 in Orlando, FL. The call is open until September 25. Read more here about why you should contribute and what is in it for you!
What’s the difference between SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Studio? How are they similar? Just ask SAS’ Danny Modlin.
