Does the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2660 v4 Have Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) and Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA)?

Need information about processor technology.

The Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2660 v4 supports both Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) and Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA).

Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP): This processor is part of the Intel® Xeon® E5 v4 family, which is designed for multi-processor systems, enabling SMP configurations. SMP allows multiple processors to share a single memory and I/O system, providing efficient parallel processing capabilities.

Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA): NUMA is supported in platforms using Intel® Xeon® processors, including the E5-2660 v4. NUMA enables each processor to have its own local memory controller, which improves memory bandwidth scalability and reduces latency for local memory access. However, memory latency can vary depending on whether the memory transaction is local or remote. NUMA-aware operating systems and applications can optimize memory allocation to enhance performance in such environments.
