In the example of atomics, it should be "std::atomic vertexAmount{0};" no?

Is it a good idea to make a container of related data for each thread to eliminate the need for synchronization?

for example:

std::for_each(std::execution::par, VecOfParticleSystems.begin(), VecOfParticleSystems.end(),
            [](ParticleSystem* System){ 
                for(Particle* Part : System)
                {
                    Part->Update();
                    System->vertexAmount += Part->IsDead ? 0ull : Part->vertexCount;
                }

                std::erase_if( System, [](Particle& Part){return Part->IsDead;} );
            });

I recall when exactly 2 weeks ago I knew almost nothing about creating multi-threaded task-based systems when I've stumbled upon your article. It was such a good starting point, that today I obviously had to end up finding myself researching win32 api internals in pursuit of creating my own lightweight fiber implementation.
