Hence Non > Uniform Memory Access. NUMA basically relates to the fact that in some systems not all memory is equal. Not all nodes may be able to access all memory locations, or access to some memory locations is slower/faster than access to other locations. It is beneficial for the OS to know about this. AMDs Opteron series uses a system like this, so it's definitely quite mainstream these days. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
