Abstract
A method of rendering an object model includes modifying, by a first thread executing on a computer system that is coupled to a display screen, a current object model to generate a new object model that is stored at a first memory address. The method also includes storing, by the first thread, a copy of the new object model at a second memory address. The method further includes updating, by the first thread, a reference to identify the copy of the new object model. The method also includes rendering, by a second thread executing on the computer system, a renderable object model identified by the reference into a buffer that is converted into pixels on the display screen, the first thread being independent of the second thread.
