From the looks of it, this mainly applies if you are running a NUMA system. Which you probably are not. Though it may apply in other places where 'scheduling domains' are used to model hardware (e.g. hyperthreading and maybe big.LITTLE).

Do you run on a server? Has it been made in the last 3 - 5 years? Then you are running a NUMA system.

So desktop is unaffected?

I imagine it depends on your desktop - I buy a lot more servers than desktops, and care about NUMA because of the effects on VM and JVM behaviour.
