Two weeks ago we tested the performance of the async and await keywords plus the C# Task system against Unity’s new C# jobs system. This tested the usual combination of async and await with the Task system, but didn’t test the Task system directly against Unity’s C# jobs system. Today we’ll test that and, in so doing, see how to use the Task system without the async and await keywords.
Last week’s article tested the performance of the async and await keywords plus the C# Task system against Unity’s new C# jobs system. This week we’ll go in depth with async and await to learn how they work, how they relate to the Task system, and how we can customize them for our own uses.
