Abstract
A data processing system includes a plurality of processing nodes that each contain at least one processor and data storage. The plurality of processing nodes are coupled together by a system interconnect. The data processing system further includes a configuration utility residing in data storage within at least one of the plurality of processing nodes. The configuration utility selectively configures the plurality of processing nodes into either a single non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system or into multiple independent data processing systems through communication via the system interconnect.
