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

The current version is 3.0, amended as 3.0a. Version 4.0 is under development.

acpidump differs subtly and annoyingly between Debian and FreeBSD.

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.
