Abstract
A method, device, system, and computer readable medium are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes managing one or more threads attempting to steal task work from one or more other threads. The method will block a thread from stealing a mailed task that is also residing in another thread's task pool. The blocking occurs when the mailed task was mailed to an idle third thread. Additionally, some tasks are deferred instead of immediately spawned.
