TURBNIX ENGINEERING SERIES · POST #32
NUMA & CPU Affinity
Focuses on NUMA topology and keeping work close to the CPU and memory resources that own it.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
NUMA & CPU Affinity
On multi-socket or multi-NUMA systems, remote memory access can add latency. A workload-aware server can place workers and memory pools deliberately, then verify the result with latency, throughput and CPU measurements rather than assuming affinity always helps.
ENGINEERING NOTE
Ideas first. Evidence next.
Turbnix engineering claims should ultimately be validated with reproducible tests. Design goals, early observations and measured production results are kept distinct so the project can improve from evidence rather than assumptions.
