Texas Tech University (TTU) developed statistical resampling methods to determine whether announcements and other historical events affect stock prices. TTU deployed a SAS compute grid to optimize resources campus-wide. TTU is utilizing their SAS compute grid to leverage unused and underutilized computing resources to attain information that would otherwise take weeks or months to process. SAS/CONNECT provides an essential tool for distributing jobs across a network. TTU combined the distribution capabilities of SAS/CONNECT with high-powered SAS analytics to implement their financial application on a grid.
