enkiTS VS oneTBB

If you're open to using a task scheduler library, and want something lighter weight than the alternatives, my permissively licensed C and C++ Task Scheduler for creating parallel programs enkiTS would be a good fit for this.

Rather than a new background thread I would use a task/job system such as my own open source enki Task Scheduler (enkiTS).

As always the multithreading for this is achieved using my permissively licensed C and C++ Task Scheduler for creating parallel programs, enkiTS.

What tasking system are you using? If you're having problems with it you might want to try my enkiTS.

GL_MAP_PERSISTENT_BIT for any data which is changed per-frame, such as constant buffers, particle data, SSBO data etc. This allows the data to be written in parallel (I use my tasking system enkiTS).

Use a library like https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneTBB

I have a project that depends on Intel's oneTBB. My project is structured as follows:

Intel TBB is still being maintained, it's just renamed to "OneAPI". The TBB part can be found here: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneTBB

$ cd /tmp $ wget https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneTBB/releases/download/v2021.7.0/oneapi-tbb-2021.7.0-lin.tgz

For a more fully featured version of that idea with parallel algorithms and data structures, there are libraries like Thread Building Blocks.

Users should work with higher level primitives like tasks, parallel loops, asynchronous functions etc. Think TBB, Thrust, Taskflow, lparallel for CL, etc.

Consider using oneAPI Threading Building Blocks instead of naked threads.
