For NUMA emulation, linux will carve up the existing nodes--or the system memory for non-NUMA platforms--into multiple nodes. Each emulated node will manage a fraction of the underlying cells' -physical memory. NUMA emluation is useful for testing NUMA kernel and +physical memory. NUMA emulation is useful for testing NUMA kernel and application features on non-NUMA platforms, and as a sort of memory resource management mechanism when used together with cpusets.
