 Nonuniform memory access (NUMA) alignment is a technique to optimize performance and resource utilization in multiple-socket servers. It involves aligning memory and compute resources to reduce latency and improve data access within a server system.
 
-Through the strategic placement of software components and workloads in a NUMA-aware way, Operators can enhance the performance of network functions, such as virtualized routers and firewalls. This placement leads to improved service delivery and responsiveness in their telco cloud environments.

 ### Huge page support
 
-Huge page usage in telco workloads refers to the utilization of large memory pages, typically 2 MB or 1 GB in size, instead of the standard 4-KB pages. This approach helps reduce memory overhead and improves the overall system performance. It reduces the translation look-aside buffer (TLB) miss rate and improves memory access efficiency.
