The Swedish games conglomerate is in the midst of a bloody restructuring and has been culling its personnel expenses. Postpone pricey acquisitions However, because building up human capital is costly and slow, making cuts following a rushed acquisition is destructive. Similarly, Amazon Game Studio announced the termination of 180 jobs.

Rendering, while mostly a sequential process (GPUs are sequential), can be parallelized in a few places, like frustum culling and (in modern APIs such as Vulkan, Metal or DirectX12) creation of command lists. Neither need to retrieve data. Physics pushes data to Rendering. How is this achieved?

The payload registers are the mechanism NVIDIA OptiX offers for passing arbitrary data along with a ray, from the caller that traces a ray, and back. The limited size of the payload forced many to use local or even global memory buffers for passing ray data around, which can have a negative impact on performance. NVIDIA OptiX 7.4

Retrieving data from VisualServer is slow, as it may need synchronization. This implementation handles spatial indexing of objects and, every frame, building a render list of objects drawn. Truth is, the main advantage of using them is the ability to build render command lists using multiple CPU cores.
