NUMA's about memory access so it's about |

cores/CPUs/processors/whatever_you_want_to_call_it and how they access |

You could use numactl and place your binary on certain nodes (cores) |

You should also check your code uses OpenMP, threading, ... for example. |

Monitor your CPU and memory also while your software is running ;) |

What SW are you going to be running? Do you know if your software is |
| 27 |
SMP and/or NUMA aware? |
