Personnel

gollark: > Behind the scenes, Rayon uses a technique called work stealing to try and dynamically ascertain how much parallelism is available and exploit it. The idea is very simple: we always have a pool of worker threads available, waiting for some work to do. When you call join the first time, we shift over into that pool of threads. But if you call join(a, b) from a worker thread W, then W will place b into its work queue, advertising that this is work that other worker threads might help out with. W will then start executing a.

gollark: Maybe I should actually benchmark it.
gollark: It apparently uses "work-stealing" or something, and I think it depends on how complex the operations are.
gollark: I had so many accursed borrow checker issues.
