StataCorp have released a new major release of Stata, it's a complete, integrated statistical software package that provides everything you need for data analysis, data management, and graphics.
Stata/MP lets you analyze data in one-half to two-thirds the time compared with Stata/SE on inexpensive dual-core laptops, and in one-quarter to one-half the time on quad-core desktops and laptops. Stata/MP runs even faster on multiprocessor servers. Stata/MP supports up to 64 cores/processors.
Speed is often most crucial when performing computationally intense estimation procedures. A few of Stata's estimation procedures, including linear regression, are nearly perfectly parallelized, meaning they run twice as fast on two cores, four times as fast on four cores, eight-times as fast on eight cores, and so on. Some estimation commands can be parallelized more than others. Across all estimation commands, Stata/MP runs 1.8 times faster on dual-core computers, 2.8 times faster on quad-core computers, and 4.1 times faster on computers with eight cores.
Speed can also be important when managing large datasets. Adding new variables is nearly 100 percent parallelized and sorting is 80 percent parallelized.
Some procedures are not parallelized and some are inherently sequential, meaning they run the same speed in Stata/MP.
