+# Threading in Vulkan
+
+The Vulkan backend uses a dedicated concurrent worker pool that is created along
+with the creation of the Vulkan context.
+
+Unlike other pools such as the IO worker pool, long running tasks may **not** be
+posted to this pool. This is because frame workloads can and often are
+distributed to workers in this pool. Having a potentially long running task
+(such as texture decompression) may potentially block frame critical tasks. The
+limitation of a separate pool for frame critical tasks is working around the
+separate limitation of not being able to specify a QoS to specific tasks and may
+be lifted in the future.
+
+There is also a separate component called the fence waiter which operates on its
+own thread. The purpose of the fence waiter is to ensure that the resource
+reference count lives at least as long as the GPU command buffer(s) that access
+this resource.
+
+Resource collection and pooling also happens on another thread called the
+resource manager. This is because touching the allocators is a potentially
+expensive operation and having the collection be done in a frame workload, or on
+the fence waiter thread may cause jank.
+
+With this overview, the total number of thread used by the Impeller Vulkan
+backend is the number of workers in the concurrent worker pool, and the two
+threads for the fence waiter and resource manager respectively.
+
+A summary of the interaction between the various threads is drawn below:
