SQL Server is non-uniform memory access (NUMA) aware, and performs well on NUMA hardware without special configuration. As clock speed and the number of processors increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to reduce the memory latency required to use this additional processing power. To circumvent this, hardware vendors provide large L3 caches, but this is only a limited solution. NUMA architecture provides a scalable solution to this problem.. GeoPITS brings you the comprehensive details of NUMA Aware Large Page Memory and Buffer Array Allocation's support in different versions & editions of SQL Server.
