Certain functions of the emulator can be delegated to another core to improve performance. This includes:

  • PPU rendering and sending the next pixel
  • APU rendering the next audio sample

The emulation of register values should continue on the main thread and be timed accurately.

The support for serial communication allows for this already.

The PPU processing in a separate thread is likely to allow for the most additional performance benefit.
