I'm not sure of what/why Prof. Bob Hyatt may have made those comments. But to
get a program like crafty to work properly in a numa machine will not be trivial
- and it wont be tweaks , but something more.

Duals , etc count as SMP machine not cc-numa which I was refering to.
A search on google game me :
http://www.sara.nl/userinfo/reservoir/ccnuma/ which can be mined for more info !

I'm sure Prof Bob Hyatt may be able to get hold of a numa machine (or a user
account in one) if he wants to , through his college/university , for crafty.

I hope you were not refering to me as one of the "minions" ;)
