+Simulate a multi node NUMA system. If @samp{mem}
+and @samp{cpus} are omitted, resources are split equally. Also, note
+that the -@option{numa} option doesn't allocate any of the specified
+resources. That is, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA nodes. This
+means that one still has to use the @option{-m}, @option{-smp} options
+to allocate RAM and VCPUs respectively.
