Linux Scalability in a NUMA World

,----[ Quote ]
| Once Linux has parsed this information, it can create logical structures for 
| each node. It assigns memory for each node, to separate free lists, and 
| creates preferential search paths in case a node runs out of memory. The 
| default memory allocation policy in Linux allocates memory from the nearest 
| memory to the processor on which the code is executing.

Linux still super in Top500

,----[ Quote ]
| In the June 2008 Top500 list, Linux still lives large with a role in 92% of
| systems (It is the only OS for 85.4%, but when considering all distributions
| (SUSE, Red Hat, CentOS, and general ‘Linux,’ as well as mixed uses that
| include Linux, I figure the share is more like the 92%).
