Mark,

NUMA is a shared memory bus architecture for Intel chips, it's been around for about 6 years now.

It allows a box to do things like run NT and Unix simultaneously. Sequent ( now IBM ) and some other can do this.

There are various incarnations of the acronym:

  Non Uniform Memory Access
  Non-Uniform Memory Allocation (Sequent)   Non-Uniform Memory Architecture
