About interrupts, that's unfortunately actually not related with actual topology of the machine, Linux is free to direct them to any processor, which could be on another NUMA node at the other end of the machine. There are even daemons to distribute them over time, meaning all CPUs might handle the interrupt. I'm thus not sure we can even provide such kind of information in a reliable way. You can for instance check in /proc/irq/0/smp_affinity that you probably have your timer interrupt potentially run by any processor. You can modify the file in order to bind the interrupt to some given CPU (which, again, can be very far from the actual PCI device). Samuel
