Bug#329755: libnuma1: please explain in long description what NUMA is and use full sentences
Re: Ian Wienand in [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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). 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.

Re: Ian Wienand in [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. Maybe for some, but I've only ever seen the term NUMA with reference to non-uniform memory architecture. Certainly I would consider it a standard computing term. I have a major in CS and have never heard of NUMA. Maybe you could explain on which architectures such a feature exists?

Any architecture could conceivably have a NUMA memory hierarchy.

Maybe for some, but I've only ever seen the term NUMA with reference to non-uniform memory architecture. Certainly I would consider it a standard computing term. And it would be even more nice if you could use full sentences in the long descriptions. 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

And it would be even more nice if you could use full sentences in the long descriptions.
