Descripción
Sumario:	This article presents an exploration into non-uniform memory access (NUMA) systems within computer servers. The author discusses the performance features of contemporary NUMA systems in contrast to older generations, describes examples of NUMA features within the Linux operating system, and offers a memory-management algorithm to improve performance and reduce access timing problems.
