Paragraph Structure
- Topic sentence
- the main and most general sentence, usually the first one
- Supporting sentence
- more detailed ideas which follow and explain the topic sentence
- Concluding sentence
- repetition of the main idea or comments about the topic
Paragraph Rules
- There is one and only one main idea in each paragraph
- All supporting sentences directly explain and prove the main idea
- Coherence: smooth and logical flow of ideas from one sentence to another, with no sudden jumps
Coherence can be achieved by:
- repetition of key nouns
- consistent use of pronouns
- use of transition signals
- logical organisation of ideas The work-stealing algorithm is a scheduling strategy that dynamically redistributes work among multiple threads. Each thread in a work-stealing pool maintains its own queue of tasks. When a thread runs out of tasks, it “steals” work from the end of another thread’s queue, hence the term “work-stealing”. This approach helps in efficiently balancing the workload across all threads, reducing idle time and improving overall performance, especially in compute-intensive and recursive task scenarios.
- Logical organisation of ideas
- Chronological order (step by step, event by event)
- Logical division of ideas (topic in parts, each part discussed separately)
- Comparison/contrast (two or more things contrasted/compared)
