The main design philosophy of D3D12 and Vulkan is to enable game engines to distribute graphics workloads across multiple CPU cores. Resource allocation and destruction Creating and destroying buffers, textures, and shaders is fundamental to efficient computer graphics. Evenly balance work across all threads for best results.

As most of the rendering features for the upcoming Godot 4.0 are done, I have spent the past two months optimizing the rendering engine, both on the CPU and GPU side. All this work has resulted in significantly faster rendering times. A lot of the render state is now better cached, so less is done at render time.

It feels great to be back to doing graphics programming after two months refactoring the core engine. While not entirely rendering specific, a lot of nodes are being renamed. A very common complaint when using shadowmaps in Godot is that tweaking shadow bias is extremely difficult compared to other game engines. Node renames.
