Procps-ng 3.38 was released yesterday. Besides the bug fixes,there have been two main enhancements: NUMA and systemd support.
top comes with NUMA support which is a soft dependency, meaning that if compilied with the support, top will try to link at runtime to libnuma. The new key presses are ‘2’ and ‘3’ which will show the Nodes or more detail about a specific node respectively.
ps has two new output columns; unit and uunit. These permit ps to display the systemd unit and user unit fields. The systemd support is a
hard dependency which is enabled with –with-systemd
