NUMA(7)                    Linux Programmer's Manual                   NUMA(7)

NAME
       numa - overview of Non-Uniform Memory Architecture

DESCRIPTION
       Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) refers to multiprocessor systems whose
       memory  is  divided  into  multiple memory nodes.  The access time of a
       memory node depends on the relative locations of the accessing CPU  and
       the  accessed  node.   (This  contrasts with a symmetric multiprocessor
       system, where the access time for all of the memory is the same for all
       CPUs.)  Normally, each CPU on a NUMA system has  a  local  memory  node
       whose contents can be accessed faster than the memory in the node local
       to another CPU or the memory on a bus shared by all CPUs.

   NUMA system calls
       The  Linux  kernel  implements the following NUMA-related system calls:
       get_mempolicy(2),  mbind(2),   migrate_pages(2),   move_pages(2),   and
       set_mempolicy(2).  However, applications should normally use the inter‐
       face provided by libnuma; see "Library Support" below.

   /proc/[number]/numa_maps (since Linux 2.6.14)
       This file displays information about a process's NUMA memory policy and
       allocation.

       Each  line  contains  information  about  a  memory  range  used by the
       process, displaying—among other information—the effective memory policy
       for that memory range and on which nodes the pages have been allocated.

       numa_maps is a read-only file.  When /proc/<pid>/numa_maps is read, the
       kernel will scan the virtual address space of the  process  and  report
       how memory is used.  One line is displayed for each unique memory range
       of the process.

       The  first  field of each line shows the starting address of the memory
       range.  This field allows  a  correlation  with  the  contents  of  the
       /proc/<pid>/maps  file, which contains the end address of the range and
       other information, such as the access permissions and sharing.

       The second field shows the memory policy currently in  effect  for  the
       memory  range.   Note  that the effective policy is not necessarily the
       policy installed by the process for that memory  range.   Specifically,
       if  the process installed a "default" policy for that range, the effec‐
       tive policy for that range will be the process policy, which may or may
       not be "default".

       The rest of the line contains information about the pages allocated  in
       the memory range, as follows:

       N<node>=<nr_pages>
              The  number  of  pages allocated on <node>.  <nr_pages> includes
              only pages currently mapped by the process.  Page migration  and
              memory  reclaim  may  have temporarily unmapped pages associated
              with this memory range.  These pages may show up again only  af‐
              ter  the process has attempted to reference them.  If the memory
              range represents a shared memory area  or  file  mapping,  other
              processes may currently have additional pages mapped in a corre‐
              sponding memory range.

       file=<filename>
              The  file  backing  the  memory range.  If the file is mapped as
              private, write accesses may have generated  COW  (Copy-On-Write)
              pages in this memory range.  These pages are displayed as anony‐
              mous pages.

       heap   Memory range is used for the heap.

       stack  Memory range is used for the stack.

       huge   Huge memory range.  The page counts shown are huge pages and not
              regular sized pages.

       anon=<pages>
              The number of anonymous page in the range.

       dirty=<pages>
              Number of dirty pages.

       mapped=<pages>
              Total  number  of mapped pages, if different from dirty and anon
              pages.

       mapmax=<count>
              Maximum mapcount (number of processes mapping a single page) en‐
              countered during the scan.  This may be used as an indicator  of
              the degree of sharing occurring in a given memory range.

       swapcache=<count>
              Number of pages that have an associated entry on a swap device.

       active=<pages>
              The  number  of  pages  on the active list.  This field is shown
              only if different from the number of pages in this range.   This
              means  that  some  inactive pages exist in the memory range that
              may be removed from memory by the swapper soon.

       writeback=<pages>
              Number of pages that are currently being written out to disk.

CONFORMING TO
       No standards govern NUMA interfaces.

NOTES
       The Linux NUMA system calls and /proc interface are available  only  if
       the kernel was configured and built with the CONFIG_NUMA option.

   Library support
       Link  with  -lnuma to get the system call definitions.  libnuma and the
       required <numaif.h> header are available in the numactl package.

       However, applications should not use these system calls directly.   In‐
       stead,  the higher level interface provided by the numa(3) functions in
       the numactl package is recommended.  The numactl package  is  available
       at  ⟨ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/libnuma/download/⟩.  The package is
       also included in some Linux distributions.  Some distributions  include
       the  development library and header in the separate numactl-devel pack‐
       age.
