Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. Research on game engine optimization for multiple threads at the time resulted in documentation and papers for a new technique named job scheduling. How is this achieved?

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. As great as this is, though, only very high-end and high-budget games will really make use of it.
