+# Chapter 24: Performance Optimization
+
+As I read this book, I summarize what I think is wrong. If you think my comments are wrong then please let me know. We can dicuss more and update your opinion.
+
+## CPU-GPU synchronization
+
+For the triple buffering, currentUniformIndex is used to point a current uniform data. However this logic is totally wrong because uniform data which is sent to GPU is invalid. Let's print uniform data and see what's wrong.
+
+In Scene.swift, in update(deltaTime:), add this code before currentUniformIndex is updated:
+
+```
+print("Update: \(uniforms[currentUniformIndex].viewMatrix)")
+```
+
+In Renderer.swift, in draw(in view:), add this line after declaring uniforms:
+
+```
+print("Draw: \(uniforms.viewMatrix)")
+```
+
+Build and run. You will see logs like below:
+
+```
+Update: simd_float4x4([[0.99999994, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.99999994, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.99999994, 0.0], [0.0, -0.99999994, 0.99999994, 0.99999994]])
+Draw: simd_float4x4([[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]])
+```
+
+We've updated uniform data in update(deltaTime:) but sent uniform data to GPU is the garbage. To fix this, we need to keep the uniform index for rendering.
+
+In Scene.swift, add this property:
+
+```
+var renderUniformIndex = 0
+```
+
+In Scene.swift, in update(deltaTime:), add this code before currentUniformIndex is updated:
+
+```
+renderUniformIndex = currentUniformIndex
+```
+
+In Renderer.swift, in draw(in view:), replace this code:
+
+```
+let uniforms = scene.uniforms[scene.currentUniformIndex]
+```
+
+With:
+
+```
+let uniforms = scene.uniforms[scene.renderUniformIndex]
+```
+
+Build and run. Now we send valid uniform data to GPU:
+
+```
+Update: simd_float4x4([[0.99999994, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.99999994, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.99999994, 0.0], [0.0, -0.99999994, 0.99999994, 0.99999994]])
+Draw: simd_float4x4([[0.99999994, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.99999994, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.99999994, 0.0], [0.0, -0.99999994, 0.99999994, 0.99999994]])
+```
