Simple software renderer

The purpose of this tutorial is to help you understand the math and algorithms behind

multithreaded rendering
getting number of processor cores
creating threads
running every thread on a different core
setting the minimum timer resolution
thread synchronization
initializing, resizing and clearing color and depth buffers
primitive assembly
vertex shader
per vertex lighting
triangle visibility testing using homogeneous coordinates
triangle clipping using homogeneous coordinates
perspective division
front and back face triangle culling
triangle rasterization with perspective correct z and attribute values interpolation
depth test
fragment shader
nearest and bilinear texture filtering
24-bit color buffer and 16-bit depth buffer
2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 antialiasing
