Opteron Nodes

Did somebody test the oM2.6 on Opteron already ? (single core, dual
core, or multi-processor or both) ?

By having a first look to the documentation of the main motherboard 
vendor (K8SSA from
Tyan), I may be wrong but it seems that a particularity of the 
multi-processor architecture
of the Opteron involve specific memory for certain processor, eg: you
have 2 processors, P1 and P2, and two memory slots groups. P1 can access
the first group only, but P2 can access all slots. Hence, in this
configuration, if a task is running on the P2 address space, only the
processor P2 can have access to its specific data (which also means,
only processor P2 can migrate this process ...).

Is this situation already handled by openMosix, or does it have to be
added on the todolist ?
