[erlang-questions] Documentation on NUMA support in R15?

[Tim McGilchrist]

Hi James,

I'm no expert but I found this presentation by Kenneth Lundin useful in understanding how Erlang uses multiple cores.
It's from 2009 so it may not be entirely accurate.

I'd also be interested to hear from those in the know about Erlang on NUMA machines.
