PostgreSQL Merges Initial Support For NUMA Awareness


The PostgreSQL open-source database server has been on an exciting spree of recent changes..

It can also help with carrying out datbase I/O on a NUMA node closer to PCIe-attached storage or better handling around CXL memory. It will be interesting to see how well tuned this NUMA awareness can be made ahead of the PostgreSQL 18 release due out later in the year. In any event it's finally exciting seeing NUMA awareness support reaching the mainline open-source PostgreSQL database server.
