What are the best resources on multi-threaded game or game engine design and development? As this is obviously where computers are headed, I intend to study this topic and I'd like to know what resources and examples are out there.

A brief overview of Multi-threaded engine approaches. Gamasutra to the rescue. |

Here's a blog post that provides a practical example in task management. It assumes some knowledge about parallel engine design on your part but you might still find it useful as 'advanced reading'. |

I think you should look into a task- or job-basedd approach. Game Engine Gems has 2 or 3 articles on the subject. There have been a couple of presentations on the subject at different conference etc. For example "Parallel Futures of a Game Engine" by Johan Andersson Also take a look at the GDC Vault there are a number of presentations and full videos on the subject in the free section. http://www.gdcvault.com/ ps. Couldn't post any more direct links due to being a new user. ds. |
