How does SSAS server process cubes?
I don't have much experience with SSAS cubes. We have an SSAS Visual Studio package that contains three cubes (see below). When these cubes are processed by our SSAS server, are the cubes processed sequentially or are they (or can they be) processed in parallel, to reduce processing time?

It depends entirely on the command submitted to the server. Pieces of the cube (dimensions or partitions) can be processed sequentially or in parallel. How do you process these now?

@Nick.McDermaid - Thanks Nick. Can you tell me how or where this setting is controlled?

You request the server to process some component of your cube. One way to perform this request is to submit XMLA docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/analysis-services/instances/… youtube.com/watch?v=7UlrhCAA_48

Connect to your SSAS Server, right click on a dimension and process. Press script. You get an XMLA script. You can add other dimensions to this script. If you tuck them all inside the parallel tags, they'll process in parallel
