ABSTRACT:
One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of selecting a physical memory locality in a multiprocessor system. A data structure including sets of equidistant localities is provided. A preferred locality is determined using a pointer to a locality within said data structure. Other embodiments disclosed relate to the multiprocessor computing system, the operating system for the multiprocessor computing system, and the data structure for use in selecting a physical memory locality.
