a patch set that adds support for weighted memory interleaving — allowing a
process’s memory to be distributed between

non-uniform memory access (NUMA)
nodes in a more controlled way.
According to his performance measurements, the patch set could provide a
significant improvement for computers with network-attached memory.
The patch set also
introduces new system calls and paves the way for future extensions
intended to give processes more control over their own memory.
