In NUMA linux, when I malloc() or shmget() or whatever any kind of memory, it isn't actually allocated on a specific node until the page is faulted in on a reference. This lets me shmget() the TREE data for each process before I fork() the processes, then each process initializes its own TREE blocks, which faults them into the physical memory on the node where that particular process is running. Does windows behave the same way, or is the mallocInterleaved() approach currently used in Crafty the best approach. I'm going to have to do a little tweaking to make the current program approach behave on windows, and if windows allocates physical memory like linux, it makes the approach work on both, if not, oh well...
