Non-uniform memory entry (NUMA) is a pc memory design utilized in multiprocessing, where the memory access time depends upon the memory location relative to the processor. Underneath NUMA, a processor can access its personal local memory faster than non-local memory ([Memory Wave Method](https://trevorjd.com/index.php/In_Contrast_To_Most_Of_The_Other_Entries) native to a different processor or memory shared between processors). NUMA is beneficial for workloads with excessive memory locality of reference and low lock contention, because a processor could function on a subset of memory mostly or totally inside its own cache node, lowering traffic on the memory bus. NUMA architectures logically comply with in scaling from symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) architectures. They were developed commercially in the course of the nineties by Unisys, Convex Computer (later Hewlett-Packard), Honeywell Info Systems Italy (HISI) (later Groupe Bull), Silicon Graphics (later Silicon Graphics International), Sequent Computer Systems (later IBM), Information General (later EMC, now Dell Applied sciences), Digital (later Compaq, then HP, now HPE) and ICL. Techniques developed by these companies later featured in a wide range of [Unix-like](https://www.fool.com/search/solr.aspx?q=Unix-like) operating systems, and to an extent in Windows NT.

Symmetrical Multi Processing XPS-100 family of servers, designed by Dan Gielan of Vast Corporation for Honeywell Data Systems Italy. Modern CPUs operate significantly quicker than the main memory they use. Within the early days of computing and information processing, the CPU generally ran slower than its own [Memory Wave](https://wiki.fuzokudb.com/fdb/%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85:OrvilleFty). The efficiency strains of processors and memory crossed in the 1960s with the advent of the first supercomputers. Since then, CPUs more and more have discovered themselves "starved for data" and having to stall while waiting for knowledge to arrive from memory (e.g. for Von-Neumann architecture-based computer systems, see Von Neumann bottleneck). Many supercomputer designs of the 1980s and 1990s targeted on offering excessive-velocity memory access as opposed to faster processors, permitting the computers to work on large information units at speeds different techniques couldn't strategy. Limiting the variety of memory accesses offered the key to extracting excessive efficiency from a modern computer. For commodity processors, this meant installing an ever-rising quantity of excessive-speed cache memory and utilizing increasingly refined algorithms to keep away from cache misses.

But the dramatic enhance in dimension of the operating systems and of the purposes run on them has generally overwhelmed these cache-processing enhancements. Multi-processor systems with out NUMA make the problem considerably worse. Now a system can starve several processors at the same time, notably because just one processor can entry the computer's memory at a time. NUMA attempts to address this drawback by offering separate memory for each processor, avoiding the performance hit when several processors attempt to deal with the identical memory. For problems involving unfold knowledge (widespread for servers and related functions), NUMA can enhance the performance over a single shared memory by a factor of roughly the number of processors (or separate memory banks). One other approach to addressing this downside is the multi-channel memory structure, through which a linear increase in the number of memory channels will increase the memory entry concurrency linearly. After all, not all data ends up confined to a single job, which implies that more than one processor could require the same data.

To handle these circumstances, NUMA methods embrace extra hardware or software to maneuver information between memory banks. This operation slows the processors attached to those banks, so the general speed increase due to NUMA closely is determined by the character of the working tasks. AMD implemented NUMA with its Opteron processor (2003), utilizing HyperTransport. Intel announced NUMA compatibility for its x86 and Itanium servers in late 2007 with its Nehalem and Tukwila CPUs. Practically all CPU architectures use a small quantity of very [quick non-shared](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/quick%20non-shared) memory often known as cache to exploit locality of reference in memory accesses. With NUMA, sustaining cache coherence across shared memory has a major overhead. Though easier to design and construct, non-cache-coherent NUMA methods grow to be prohibitively complex to program in the standard von Neumann structure programming model. Sometimes, ccNUMA makes use of inter-processor communication between cache controllers to maintain a constant memory picture when more than one cache stores the identical memory location.
