Moreover, his search for his cat was both successful and led him to stumble upon a better paying job. He thanks George for inadvertently saving his life and getting him a better job.

Work stealing multithreaded computations compete with work stealing. Besides the traditional work sharing approach, there is a scheduler called "parallel depth-first" (PDF) that improves on the space bounds of work stealing, as well giving better performance in some situations where the cores of a chip multiprocessor share a cache. Work stealing In parallel computing, work stealing is a scheduling strategy for multithreaded computer programs. It solves the problem of executing a "dynamically multithreaded" computation, one that can "spawn" new threads of execution, on a "statically multithreaded" computer, with a fixed number of processors (or cores). It does so efficiently both in terms
