*ArcMap comparisons use the 64-bit background geoprocessing setupĦ4-bit geoprocessing does not automatically make tools faster, only able to use more memory for data processing. For most geoprocessing tools performance is roughly equivalent between ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap*, while many tools have been improved and are faster. For example, a date-time calculation on 20,000 features in ArcMap took nearly one minute, while Pro with Arcade takes less than 3 seconds.Ĭalculate Field in ArcGIS Pro 2.1 using ArcadeĪs discussed in this FAQ, geoprocessing in ArcGIS Pro is 64-bit and occurs on a dedicated geoprocessing thread. The Calculate Field tool was enhanced in Pro 2.1 to support Arcade expressions, which are considerably faster compared to calculations in ArcMap. While the quantity of new functionality is undeniably impressive, you might be wondering “What is ArcGIS Pro doing to make my analysis faster?”Įach release a number of tools are enhanced to provide better performance. Keep checking What’s New in ArcGIS Pro in the coming weeks to see the full list of new analysis and geoprocessing capabilities added to Pro 2.1 and previous releases.

Many, many other new tools, and countless tool enhancements.

A rich set of tools for creating, managing and tracing the new utility network, and generating network diagrams.

A new extension toolbox for interpreting, exploiting, and analyzing imagery.

New tools for adding and calculating multiple attribute fields.

New spatial statistics tools that use machine learning to find spatial and attribute clusters in your data.

Over the last year, including the 2.0 and 2.1 Pro releases, nearly 300 new geoprocessing tools were added which solve new spatial problems, make your work easier, and enable processing of new data types. ArcGIS Pro is a powerful multithreaded application with unparalleled (no pun intended) spatial analysis and geoprocessing capabilities.
