Stata/MP is the fastest and largest version of Stata.  Make the most of your 2-core, 4-core, 6-core, 12-core all the way through to 64-core machines.

Almost every computer can take advantage of the advanced multiprocessing capabilities of Stata/MP. Stata/MP provides the most extensive multicore support of any statistics and data management package. 

SPEED

Stata/MP is faster — much faster.
Stata/MP lets you analyse 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 parallelised, 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 parallelised more than others. Taken at the median, estimation commands run 1.8 times faster on 2 cores, 3.1 times faster on 4 cores, and 4.2 times faster on 8 cores.

Speed can also be important when managing large datasets. Adding new variables is nearly 100 percent parallelised, and sorting is 75 percent parallelised.

​

Some procedures are not parallelised and some are inherently sequential, meaning they run the same speed in Stata/MP.
