1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
causing a memory assessment thread to perform a first predetermined node memory contention state determination sequence for a predetermined first node, wherein the first predetermined node memory contention state determination sequence includes:
recording a first timestamp,
allocating dedicated memory of the predetermined first node, wherein at least a majority portion of the dedicated memory is allocated,
attempting to fill the allocated memory with content subsequent to recording the first timestamp,
recording a second timestamp after attempting to fill the allocated memory;
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; and
causing the determined first memory contention state to be included in a first type of message sent to a second node.
