Dear all,
I use a large dataset (10 GB) and I would like to understand a little bit more where are located the possible (Stata and hardware) bottlenecks that can affect the Stata processing speed of my data.
Specifically, I have quite a poweful machine (i7 4770, 36 GB RAM DDR3) and Stata MP4. Still,a 10GB dataset requires some time to load into the RAM and having a SSD disk does not seem to improve those loading times (around a minute or so, sometimes more)
Could someone explain to me how can I decrease those loading times? Is this related to Stata or related to some bottlenecks in the disk-to-RAM max transfer rate?
Many thanks!
EDIT: I have came across this post http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru...a-and-hardware
Still, I do not see how to improve those long, frustrating loading times. Is the ECC RAM of any help?
