+Memory banks may belong to interleaving nodes. In the example below an x86
+machine has 16 Gbytes of RAM in 4 memory banks, even banks belong to node 0
+and odd banks belong to node 1::
+
+
+  0              4G              8G             12G            16G

+
+In this case node 0 will span from 0 to 12 Gbytes and node 1 will span from
+4 to 16 Gbytes.
