NUMA has various meanings in the Processor category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of NUMA in Processor.
Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) is a computer architecture design that allows processors to access their own local memory faster than non-local memory. In NUMA, a computer's memory is divided into multiple regions, and each region is assigned to a specific processor. Processors can access their local memory more quickly than memory assigned to other processors.
NUMA is typically used in multi-processor systems and is designed to improve performance by reducing the amount of time processors have to wait to access shared memory. With NUMA, processors can access memory more quickly, which can help to reduce the overall processing time required for a given task.
