Stata/SE and Stata/IC differ only in the data set size that each can analyze. Stata/MP can analyze 10 to 20 billion observations given the current largest computers, and is ready to analyze up to 1 trillion observations once computer hardware catches up. Stata/MP can also analyze more data than any other flavor of Stata. For example, if your machine has eight cores, you can purchase a Stata/MP license for eight cores, four cores, or two cores. You can purchase a Stata/MP license for up to the number of cores on your machine (maximum is 64). Stata/MP, Stata/SE, and Stata/IC all run on any machine, but Stata/MP runs faster. With more than two cores or processors, Stata/MP is even faster. On dual-core chips, Stata/MP runs 40% faster overall and 72% faster where it matters, on the time-consuming estimation commands. This includes the Intel i3, i5, i7, i9, Xeon, and Celeron, and AMD multi-core chips. Virtually any current computer can take advantage of the advanced multiprocessing of Stata/MP.
Stata/MP is the fastest and largest version of Stata. Windows MacOS StataCorp Stata Stata is the solution for your data science needs.
