The article states that the default NUMA policy is to allocate memory in the same node the thread is going to run on. Which is logical considering non-local memory access is more costly than local memory access. The problem appears when one process requests more memory than a single node can provide. Can the Linux kernel detect this usage and adjust accordingly?
