I was just reading up on FB-DIMM memory, and notice that each DIMM on a channel has a different latency. That sure looks like the defining characteristic of NUMA memory to my way of thinking - non-uniform memory. So for extra credit if your fake numa nodes pan out, it would be cute if the fake nodes could be defined so as to respect these latency differences - memory in different nodes if at different positions along a memory channel. Then a sysadmin could put their most latency sensitive jobs on the DIMMs closest to the CPUs. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
