Locality-Optimized Resource Alignment

The diagram in Figure 4 shows the example rx8640 with processor and memory resources allocated
to the first two vPars instances from Table 5:

The next two vPars instances, elk and fox, are easy to lay out: the processor and memory resources
needed by each one are available within one single locality. The resource allocations would be
distributed as shown in the following table:
