Not particularly - I've never been involved in optimizing apps on
large NUMA systems. Our uses of NUMA at Google have all involved
faked-NUMA nodes, assigning nodes to jobs to provide crude memory
limits.

I suspect that there aren't very many "simple" tests out there. Google
search for [hpc numa tuning] turns up a few likely pages that might
have pointers to suitable applications.
