Usage aware NUMA process scheduling

Processes may be assigned to specific processors when memory objects consumed by the processes are located in memory banks closely associated with the processors. When assigning processes to threads operating in a multiple processor NUMA architecture system, an analysis of the memory objects accessed by a process may identify processor or group of processors that may minimize the memory access time of the process. The selection may take into account the connections between memory banks and processors to identify the shortest communication path between the memory objects and the process. The processes may be pre-identified as functional processes that make little or no changes to memory objects other than information passed to or from the processes.
