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. To avoid this, always check the errors reported in debug builds! How is this achieved?

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. It also handles the pairing of objects (lights to geometry, GI to geometry and lights, etc.).
