This is a correct statement about NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) architecture. Its primary goal is to allow multiple CPUs or nodes with their local memory to function as a single system with a unified view of physical memory. Each CPU node can access global memory, but local memory is faster and preferred. The goal of NUMA is to provide high scalability by reducing contention and latency caused by remote memory access.
