29 Memory Hotplug allows users to increase/decrease the amount of memory.
32 (A) For changing the amount of memory.
34 (B) For installing/removing DIMMs or NUMA-nodes physically.

7 What is NUMA Memory Policy?
10 In the Linux kernel, "memory policy" determines from which node the kernel will
11 allocate memory in a NUMA system or in an emulated NUMA system. Linux has
12 supported platforms with Non-Uniform Memory Access architectures since 2.4.?.
13 The current memory policy support was added to Linux 2.6 around May 2004. This

9 Physical memory in a system may be addressed in different ways. The
10 simplest case is when the physical memory starts at address 0 and
15 different memory banks are attached to different CPUs.
17 Linux abstracts this diversity using one of the three memory models:
19 memory models it supports, what the default memory model is and
