Comments on second draft

Can't believe I didn't leave any comments before ...

The original first paragraph could be improved in readability. The sentence starting with, "Due to the access ..." is wordy and should be rewritten to progress in a logical order from the known (remote memory) to the unknown (how to handle page allocation).

I've divided your first paragraph into two. In general, shorter paragraphs are more readable than longer paragraphs.

I think I suggested several Google Scholar hits for "NUMA page allocation":

  • Power-aware page allocation
  • Operating system support for improving data locality on CC-NUMA compute servers
  • Extending OpenMP for NUMA machines
  • Experimental comparison of memory management policies for NUMA multiprocessors (though old, from 1991)
