So that would imply that for the pci-e slots they would be directly off a particular cpu (say 3 slots for cpu 0 and 3 for cpu 1) and if you had to do data transfers between those you would have to cross over from one cpu to the other. Not that bad in itself actually, but would require to fully populate the board with cpu's to use all the slots (in my case no big deal as I am planning that anyway). Still knowing the number of pci lanes for each cpu dedicated to the pcie slots would be useful, and what the speed is for the ibexpeak which would need to be tied to each cpu as well in addition to the bandwidth between the cpu's to handle process migration in addition to i/o from attached periphs.

All in all, more information would be real nice.
