  • Determining a memory contention state of a node
    Patent number: 12242733
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes causing a memory assessment thread to perform a first predetermined node memory contention state determination sequence for a predetermined first node. The first predetermined node memory contention state determination sequence includes recording a first timestamp, and allocating dedicated memory of the predetermined first node. The first predetermined node memory contention state determination sequence furthermore includes attempting to fill the allocated memory with content subsequent to recording the first timestamp, and recording a second timestamp after attempting to fill the allocated memory. The method further includes determining a first memory contention state of the predetermined first node based on results of performing the first predetermined node memory contention state determination sequence. The determined first memory contention state is caused to be included in a first type of message sent to a second node.
