Stata/MP
Stata/MP takes advantage of your computer’s
multicore processors to perform its computations in parallel. Your commands
run faster; much faster. You can analyze data in one-half to two-thirds the
time on inexpensive dual-core desktops and laptops, in one-quarter to
one-half the time on quad-core desktops, and in even less time on
workstations and servers with up to 64 cores.

New in Stata/MP 12:
- New-to-Stata-12 estimation features are parallelized.
- More panel-data estimators are parallelized, and others are
more parallelized.
- Improved parallelization of estimation commands with more than 300
covariates.
- Improved performance. Performance has been enhanced on computers
with 16 or more cores through optimized tuning.
- Stata/MP now supports up to 64 cores.

No other statistical software even comes close.
