Abstract
A method and system allocate resources in a plurality of processors system. When a processor is idle, the system determines when another processor is not idle. The time the non-idle processor remains non-idle is timed, and once a predetermined amount of time elapses, if the non-idle processor is still not idle, the idle processor poaches a job from the non-idle processor.
