 | 		but ended up with memory from this node. | 
 |  | 
 | numa_foreign	A process wanted to allocate on this node, | 
 | 		but ended up with memory from another one. | 
 |  | 
 | local_node	A process ran on this node and got memory from it. | 
 |  | 
 | other_node	A process ran on this node and got memory from another node. |

 | For easier reading you can use the numastat utility from the numactl package | 
 | (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/libnuma/). Note that it only works | 
 | well right now on machines with a small number of CPUs. |
