+memory is not all in one place.  The numactl program allows you to run your
+application program on specific CPU's and memory nodes.  It does this by
+supplying a NUMA memory policy to the operating system before running your
+program.
+
+The package contains other commands, such as numademo, numastat and memhog.
+The numademo command provides a quick overview of NUMA performance on your
+system.")
