The MP version of Stata enables use of large datasets as well as multiple cores for parallel computation. The Stata module provides multiple executables, but for HPC uses you will most likely want to use the stata-mp executable when using Stata on CARC systems. For reproducibility purposes, it is also a good practice to include a version statement like this in your Stata scripts (do-files), based on the version used to develop the script.

To check the version currently being used, enter version within Stata. If needed, you can use previous versions by entering the command version within Stata (e.g., version 13). For either mode, first load the corresponding software module: module load stataĬurrently, this module loads Stata 16.1. You can use Stata in either interactive or batch modes. You can find instructions for this in the Getting Started with Discovery or Getting Started with Endeavour user guides. Using Stata on CARC systemsīegin by logging in.

Stata is a proprietary software package for statistics and data science.
