Any architecture could conceivably have a NUMA memory hierarchy. The kernel support is called NUMA and it's help string is "Numa Memory Allocation and Scheduler Support" If you think "non-uniform memory architecture" is clearer I can expand it, but if that makes sense to you then the term NUMA will too. I don't think an essay on computer architecture is suitable for a description (for example, libraries that do Fourier transformations don't explain what they are). -i signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The expanded form is at least something one can stuff into google, which is an improvement. "NUMA" gives "National Underwater and Marine Agency", "Numa Numa Dance" and similar things.

Package: libnuma1 Version: 0.7pre2-3 Severity: normal Hi! It would be nice to have an explenation what NUMA means in that respect. It's not that for acronyms there are just one explenation. And it would be even more nice if you could use full sentences in the long descriptions.

Maybe for some, but I've only ever seen the term NUMA with reference to non-uniform memory architecture.

I felt the descriptions quite accurately describe what it does. If you want to come up with something else I'll consider it. Thanks, -i signature.asc Description: Digital signature
