SYNOPSIS
numastat [options] [pattern|pid...]
DESCRIPTION
numastat displays memory statistics for NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) systems. It shows per-node memory allocation, hits, misses, and process memory distribution.Understanding NUMA statistics helps optimize application performance on multi-socket systems.
PARAMETERS
-p pid
Show per-process stats.-m
Show memory info.-c
Compact output.-n
Show original format.-s node
Sort by node.-z
Skip zero values.
