A
Correct Answer
A memory design used in multiprocessor systems where each processor has its own local memory that it can access faster than memory attached to other processors
Explanation
In NUMA systems, accessing "local" memory (attached to the same processor) is faster than accessing "remote" memory (attached to another processor), so software performance can depend on memory placement relative to the executing processor.
