''Non-Uniform Memory Access''' or '''Non-Uniform Memory Architecture''' ('''NUMA''') is a computer memory design used in multiprocessors, where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to a processor. Under NUMA, a processor can access its own local memory faster than non-local memory, that is, memory local to another processor or memory shared between processors. | ''Non-Uniform Memory Access''' or '''Non-Uniform Memory Architecture''' ('''NUMA''') is a computer memory design used in multiprocessors, where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to a processor.
