Come On, Baby, Light my SAS® Viya®: Programming for CAS
This paper is for anyone who writes SAS® 9 programs and wants to learn how to take advantage of SAS Viya’s Cloud Analytics Service (CAS) engine. By the end of this paper SAS 9 programmers will be familiar with CAS sessions, libraries and the scope and reuse of those sessions. A programming pattern for the CAS data lifecycle will be presented and, finally, a set of benchmark performance metrics are presented that illustrate the potential performance gained from CAS, compared to SAS 9.
