I think this previous question is similar: How to confirm NUMA?

In particular, you can review the NUMA man page here: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/numa.7.html

And from there you'll see:

$ find /proc -name numa_maps
/proc/1/task/1/numa_maps
/proc/1/numa_maps
/proc/2/task/2/numa_maps
/proc/2/numa_maps
/proc/3/task/3/numa_maps
[etc if you have numa]

And you can get more detail like so:

$ grep NUMA=y /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_NUMA=y
CONFIG_K8_NUMA=y
CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA=y
CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA=y
