## 🏗️ Architecture Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### **VideoPlayerControl Pipeline Priority**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void VideoPlayerControl::ProcessSingleFrame() {
|
||||
// Phase 3.2: Dependency-aware scheduling (highest priority)
|
||||
if (m_useDependencyScheduling && m_frameScheduler) {
|
||||
ProcessSingleFrameScheduled();
|
||||
return;
|

||||
if (m_useMultiThreadedDecoding && m_threadedDecoder) {
|
||||
ProcessSingleFrameThreaded();
|
||||
return;

## 🔧 Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### **Critical Technical Considerations**
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Zero-Copy Pipeline Safety**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// ⚠️ CRITICAL: Packet lifetime management
|
||||
void ProcessFrameZeroCopy() {
|
||||
VideoPacket packet; // Must remain valid until decode complete
|
||||
m_fileReader->ReadNextPacket(packet);
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ Safe: packet lifetime guaranteed
|
||||
bool success = decoder->DecodeFrameZeroCopy(packet.data.get(), packet.size, frame);
|
||||
|
||||
// Packet can be safely destroyed here
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **D3D12 Resource State Management**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Automatic resource state transitions
|
||||
void UpdateResourceStates(const ScheduledTask* task) {
|
||||
for (auto& resource : task->writeResources) {
|
||||
resource->currentState = D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_RENDER_TARGET;
|
||||
resource->lastAccessFrame = task->frameIndex;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Thread Synchronization Patterns**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Producer-Consumer with timeout handling
|
||||
bool ThreadedDecoder::SubmitPacket(PacketPool::PooledPacket packet) {
|
||||
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(m_queueMutex);
|
||||
|
||||
bool hasSpace = m_queueCondition.wait_for(lock, timeout, [this] {
|
||||
return m_taskQueue.size() < maxQueueSize || shutdown;
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
if (hasSpace) {
|
||||
m_taskQueue.push(std::move(packet));
|
||||
m_queueCondition.notify_one();
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Performance Monitoring Integration**
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
struct PerformanceMetrics {
|
||||
std::atomic<uint64_t> totalFramesProcessed{0};
|
||||
std::atomic<double> avgDecodeTimeMs{0.0};
|
||||
std::atomic<double> avgRenderTimeMs{0.0};
|
||||
std::atomic<double> pipelineUtilization{0.0};
|
||||
std::atomic<uint64_t> memoryPoolHits{0};
|
||||
std::atomic<uint64_t> gpuCommandsExecuted{0};
