Not to be confused with APIC. The second worst type of coder in the world is the kind that shows up with a bloody shovel. The worst kind is a BIOS coder. Upwards and onwards to ACPI, a creation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface group.
Specifications
As of September 2019, the current version of ACPI is Revision 6.3, published January 2019. It is now published as part of the UEFI standards, and administered by the UEFI Forum.

SRAT
Linux in 2009 gained support for parsing of the BIOS-provided SRAT table (NetBSD also had support by later that year). The SRAT describes memory and processor topology, and the hot-pluggable status of all.
- Use the CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA kernel option to enable SRAT-based enumeration of NUMA.
