Using STATA MP on a computer with fewer cores
Hi
I'm about to buy a STATA MP license for my desktop with 8 cores. Understanding the lisence correctly, I should also be able to use the lisence on my laptop (4 cores). Is it possible to use the 8 core lisence on a 4 core laptop? Will it use eight processes on the four cores or is there some way of making it only use four?
Best regards

I regularly use Stata MP8 on a quad-core MacBook Pro. Never seems to have been an issue; I also use a six core Dell desktop at home from time to time and have a similar experience there as well.Comment

Dear Øyvind, the relevant settings are the following (displayed after creturn list):
c(processors) = 7
c(processors_lic) = 32
c(processors_mach) = 64
c(processors_max) = 32
Of these four only one is a settable setting - c(processors). c(processors_lic) is the number of cpus (cores really) covered by your MP license. c(processors_mach) - is the number of processors in the machine you are using. c(processors_max) - is the maximum number of cores Stata will be using on this machine given this license. Note that it is the minimum of the c(processors_lic) and c(processors_mach). You can set your actual CPU usage to any smaller amount. In the above example 7. It doesn't have to be max, it can be just 1. It also doesn't have to be a power of 2 (though it has to be integer, which is not at all obvious why). It can be 7 as shown above. Note that there are reasons to beleive that StataMP with CPUs restricted to 1 behaves differently from StataSE. If you are doing any benchmarking, that should be treated separately.Will it use eight processes on the four cores or is there some way of making it only use four?You don't need to do anything. StataMP will start on any (in terms of #CPUs) computer including a single core. More, it will automatically detect all the settings and set the best. The above command set processors # is used only in cases when you want something else to run in parallel and you want the programs to be nice to each other. Stata will never start more computational threads than you have hardware support for (there seems to be more threads in total, but not purely computational). The 'hardware support for' can be tricky. Some CPUs have hyperthreading, which makes it look to the OS as if there are more cores than in reality. More on this StataCorp page.

- Stata/SE Gradplan Perpetual License Stata/MP, Stata/SE, and Stata/IC all run on any machine, but Stata/MP runs faster. You can purchase a Stata/MP license for up to the number of cores on your machine (maximum is 64). For example, if your machine has eight cores, you can purchase a Stata/MP license for eight cores, four cores, or two cores.
- Stata/MP (4-core) Gradplan Perpetual License Stata is 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.
- Request a Stata 13 short course license. Please note: Requests for course licenses should be submitted no more than approximately two weeks before the course is scheduled to begin.

- Stata will run on Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix computers; however, our licenses are not platform specific. That means if you have a Mac laptop and a Windows desktop, you don't need two separate licenses to run Stata. You can install your Stata license on any of the supported platforms.
Stata SE and MP are available on the research cluster. You can request a cluster account by going to research.uit.tufts.edu and submitting the application form. Before accessing Stata on the cluster, please contact Tufts Technology Services at 617-627-3376 or it@tufts.edu for an assessment of whether or not your computer’s display meets Stata X-Windows support requirements. Stata 16 is available to download. Credentials, including your license code(s) and serial number(s) will be sent to you by email when your purchase is completed. Stata is available in 6-months, Annual, and Multi-Year license terms. Please select your license term from the tabs below and then select your license.
Stata/MP is the fastest and largest edition of Stata. Virtually any current computer can take advantage of the advanced multiprocessing of Stata/MP. This includes the Intel i3, i5, i7, i9, Xeon, and Celeron, and AMD multi-core chips. On dual-core chips, Stata/MP runs 40% faster overall and 72% faster where it matters, on the time-consuming estimation commands. With more than two cores or processors, Stata/MP is even faster.
Stata/MP, Stata/SE, and Stata/IC all run on any machine, but Stata/MP runs faster. You can purchase a Stata/MP license for up to the number of cores on your machine (maximum is 64). For example, if your machine has eight cores, you can purchase a Stata/MP license for eight cores, four cores, or two cores.
Stata/MP can also analyse more data than any other edition of Stata. Stata/MP can analyse 10 to 20 billion observations given the current largest computers, and is ready to analyse up to 1 trillion observations once computer hardware catches up.

Stata/SE and Stata/MP can fit models with more independent variables than Stata/IC (up to 10,998). Smok x priv firmware download. Stata/SE can analyse up to 2 billion observations.
Stata/IC allows data sets with as many as 2,048 variables and 2 billion observations. Stata/IC can have at most 798 independent variables in a model.
