| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Introduction to Multithreading in Direct3D 11 | Multithreading is designed to improve performance by performing work using one or more threads at the same time. |
| Object Creation with Multithreading | Use the ID3D11Device interface to create resources and objects, use the ID3D11DeviceContext for rendering. |
| Immediate and Deferred Rendering | Direct3D 11 supports two types of rendering: immediate and deferred. Both are implemented by using the ID3D11DeviceContext interface. |
| Command List | A command list is a sequence of GPU commands that can be recorded and played back. A command list may improve performance by reducing the amount of overhead generated by the runtime. |
| Threading Differences between Direct3D Versions | Many multi-threaded programming models make use of synchronization primitives (such as mutexes) to create critical sections and prevent code from being accessed by more than one thread at a time. |
