'''Title: Multi-threaded Node Absolute Calculator'''
[[File:Node Absolute Calculator Result.jpg]]
<br/>
'''Enhancement Process'''
** Before the function ''updateValues'' ends, threads are terminated through the ShutDown function of ''ThreadPool''.
'''Enhancement Description'''
<br/>
Multi-threading technology is used for calculating node absolute transformation in Emperor Engine which gives a performance enhancement. Every time the engine renders a scene with the nodes (which happens in NodeManager) it works through an iteration using a loop to update the absolute matrix sequentially. By using multiple threads, it works much faster and makes engine work in a more efficient way.

'''Project completed'''<br/>
Our team Apex, has finished Emperor_Engine Version 1.0. We completed testing it with Directx11 in release mode. There are also all four OpenGL lab codes filled in, and we have tried to re-implement all part OpenGL we need. However, due to the lack of time and some reasons related to materials and textures, this game engine with OpenGL does not works work properly.
