At the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), life-saving research is a core competency. NIEHS scientists felt a lack of computing and analytic horsepower for their data warehouse, which was slowing down their groundbreaking research into the environmental causes of cancer. SAS helped them to develop a unique solution that marries conventional approaches to data mining with grid computing technology. SAS/Connect is based on an SAS feature called MP Connect, which allows multiple SAS sessions to run in parallel, each comprising an instance of a larger application. They are now using SAS solution to mine extremely large datasets that can tax even the beefiest of server hardware platforms.
