Abstract
The paper describes the most relevant factors that have contributed to the steady improvement in performance of the SPS as a supplier of protons for the high energy physics programme of CERN. The maximum intensity is now 2.7 × 1013 protons per pulse, the slow spills are better and for 90% of the scheduled time the beam is on the targets.
