    Abstract: An example method of managing memory in a computer system implementing non-uniform memory access (NUMA) by a plurality of sockets each having a processor component and a memory component is described. The method includes replicating page tables for an application executing on a first socket of the plurality of sockets across each of the plurality of sockets; associating metadata for pages of the memory storing the replicated page tables in each of the plurality of sockets; and updating the replicated page tables using the metadata to locate the pages of the memory that store the replicated page tables.
