Assigning pre-existing processes to select sets of non-uniform memory access (numa) aligned resources

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device communicably coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
• receive a report indicating:
• a measure of resources available on each respective Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) node of a plurality of NUMA nodes in a system, and
• a measure of resources consumed by a first process being executed on a first NUMA node of the plurality of NUMA nodes in the system,
• determine that the first process being executed requires an additional resource,
• determine whether the first NUMA node has capacity for the additional resource;
• when the first NUMA node does not have the capacity for the additional resource, identify a second NUMA node for the first process in view of the report, and
• bind the first process to the second NUMA node.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to execute operations comprising:

• receiving, by the processing device, a report indicating:
• a measure of resources available on each respective Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) node of a plurality of NUMA nodes in a system, and
• a measure of resources consumed by a first process being executed on a first NUMA node of the plurality of NUMA nodes in the system;
• determining that the first process being executed requires an additional resource;
• determining whether the first NUMA node has capacity for the additional resource;
• when the first NUMA node does not have the capacity for the additional resource, identifying a second NUMA node for the first process in view of the report;
• and
• binding, by the processing device, the first process to the second NUMA node.
