Editing Non-uniform memory access (section)

== Hardware support ==
As of 2011, ccNUMA systems are multiprocessor systems based on the [[AMD Opteron]] processor, which can be implemented without external logic, and the Intel [[Itanium Processor Family|Itanium processor]], which requires the chipset to support NUMA. Examples of ccNUMA-enabled chipsets are the SGI Shub (Super hub), the Intel E8870, the [[Hewlett-Packard|HP]] sx2000 (used in the Integrity and Superdome servers), and those found in NEC Itanium-based systems. Earlier ccNUMA systems such as those from [[Silicon Graphics]] were based on [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]] processors and the [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] [[Alpha 21364]] (EV7) processor.
