Physical Nodes

A physical node represents a collection of logical processors and system physical address (SPA) pages. A physical node is sometimes referred to as a proximity domain because all logical processors and pages within the node are assumed to have similar proximity (that is, similar access times to intra-node hardware resources).

The hypervisor maintains a map between pairs of physical nodes that indicate the distance (that is, the cost of accessing resources) between the nodes.
