NUMA only on > 64 bit? umm, that would need wide circulation. I have a feeling that some implementations of some of the more obscure 32-bit architectures can (or will) have numa characteristics. Looks like mips might already. And doesn't i386 summit do numa? We could do it, but it would take some chin-scratching. It'd be good if we could pull it off. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
