GetNumaProximityNodeEx function (systemtopologyapi.h)

Retrieves the NUMA node number that corresponds to the specified proximity identifier as a USHORT value.

Syntax

BOOL GetNumaProximityNodeEx(
  [in]  ULONG   ProximityId,
  [out] PUSHORT NodeNumber
);

Parameters

[in] ProximityId

The proximity identifier of the node.

[out] NodeNumber

Points to a variable to receive the node number for the specified proximity identifier.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

A proximity domain identifier is an index to a NUMA node on a NUMA system. Proximity domain identifiers are found in the ACPI System Resource Affinity Table (SRAT), where they are used to associate processors and memory regions with a particular NUMA node. Proximity domain identifiers are also found in the ACPI namespace, where they are used to associate a device with a particular NUMA node. Proximity domain identifiers are typically used only by management applications provided by system manufacturers. Windows does not use proximity domain identifiers to identify NUMA nodes; instead, it assigns a unique number to each NUMA node in the system.

The relative distance between nodes on a system is stored in the ACPI System Locality Distance Information Table (SLIT), which is not exposed by any Windows functions. For more information about ACPI tables, see the ACPI specifications.

The only difference between the GetNumaProximityNodeEx function and the GetNumaProximityNode function is the data type of the NodeNumber parameter.

To compile an application that uses this function, set _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0601. For more information, see Using the Windows Headers.
