Note: The internal profiler is deprecated and will be retired in a future version of Unity. Use the Profiler window instead (menu: Window > Analysis > Profiler).
Unity contains a built-in profiler for iOS and Android. Every 30 frames, the built-in profiler emits console messages from the app running on the device. These messages provide insight into how the app is running. In particular, they help you determine if your app is CPU or GPU-bound. If your app is CPU-bound, you can also determine whether script code or garbage collection are causing the bottleneck. This page details how to configure the built-in profiler.
Here’s an example of the built-in profiler’s output:
iPhone Unity internal profiler stats
frametime> min: 32.5 max: 34.1 avg: 33.3
cpu-player> min: 2.2 max: 4.4 avg: 3.7
batches> min: 3 max: 3 avg: 3
draw calls> min: 3 max: 3 avg: 3
tris> min: 1704 max: 1704 avg: 1704
verts> min: 5088 max: 5088 avg: 5088
dynamic batching> batched draw calls: 0 batches: 0 tris: 0 verts: 0
static batching> batched draw calls: 0 batches: 0 tris: 0 verts: 0
player-detail> physx: 0.0 animation: 0.0 culling 0.0 skinning: 0.0 batching: 0.0 render: 0.0 fixed-update-count: 0 .. 0
scripting-scripts> update: 0.0 fixedUpdate: 0.0 coroutines: 0.0
scripting-memory> information not available on non-development player configuration
All times are measured in milliseconds per frame. You can see the minimum, maximum, and average times over the last thirty frames.
| Propiedad: | Función: |
|---|---|
| cpu-player | Displays the time your app spends executing code inside the Unity engine and executing scripts on the CPU. |
| cpu-ogles-drv (Android only) | Displays the time spent executing OpenGL ES driver code on the CPU. These driver stats can be affected by several factors, including the number of draw calls, number of internal rendering state changes, rendering pipeline setup, and number of processed vertices. |
| cpu-present (Android only) | The amount of time spent executing the presentRenderbuffer command in OpenGL ES. |
| frametime | Represents the overall time of an app frame. Note that iOS hardware is locked at a 60Hz refresh rate, so this property will always return a time that’s a multiple of 16.7ms (1000ms/60Hz = 16.7ms). |
| Propiedad: | Función: |
|---|---|
| tris # | El número Total de triángulos enviados para renderización. |
| verts # | Total number of vertices sent for rendering. You should keep this number below 10000 if your app uses only static geometry. If your app uses many instances of skinned geometry, this number should be much lower. |
| dynamic/static batching | Number of draw-calls, triangles, and vertices that the engine automatically batched. Comparing these numbers with draw-call and triangle totals can give you an idea how well is your scene prepared for batching. Share as many materials as possible among your objects to improve batching. |
The player-detail section provides a detailed breakdown of what’s happening inside the engine:
| Propiedad: | Función: |
|---|---|
| physx | El tiempo gastado en física. |
| animation | El tiempo gastado animando huesos. |
| culling | El tiempo gastado omitiendo (culling) objetos afuera del troncocónico de la cámara. |
| skinning | El tiempo gastado aplicando animaciones a skinned meshes. |
| batching | Time spent batching geometry. Batching dynamic geometry is considerably more resource-intensive than batching static geometry. |
| render | El tiempo gastado renderizando objetos visibles. |
| fixed-update-count | El número mínimo y máximo de FixedUpdates ejecutados durante este cuadro (frame). Muchos FixedUpdates van a deteriorar el rendimiento considerablemente. |
The scripting-scripts section provides a detailed breakdown of the time spent executing code in the Mono runtime:
| Propiedad: | Función: |
|---|---|
| update | Total time spent executing all Update() methods in scripts. |
| fixedUpdate | Total time spent executing all FixedUpdate() methods in scripts. |
| coroutines | El tiempo total gastado dentro de corrutinas de scripts. |
The scripting-memory section gives you an idea of how memory is being managed by the Mono garbage collector:
| Property: | Function: |
|---|---|
| allocated heap | Total amount of memory available for allocations. A garbage collection triggers if the heap doesn’t have enough memory left for a given allocation. If this doesn’t free enough memory, the allocated heap will grow in size. |
| used heap | The portion of the allocated heap which is currently used up by objects. Every time you create a new class instance (not a struct), this number grows until the next garbage collection. |
| max number of collections | Número de pases de recolección de basura durante los últimos 30 frames. |
| collection total duration | Total time (in milliseconds) of all garbage collection passes that happened during the last 30 frames. |
On iOS, the internal profiler is disabled by default. To enable it, open the Unity-generated Xcode project, select the InternalProfiler.h file, and change the line
#define ENABLE_INTERNAL_PROFILER 0
para
#define ENABLE_INTERNAL_PROFILER 1
Alternatively, access the iOS Player Settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Player Settings, then select iOS). In the Debugging and crash reporting section, enable the Enable Internal Profiler (Deprecated) setting. Make sure Development Build is enabled in the Build Settings when you build your app.
To display the output console (GDB), select View > Debug Area > Activate Console from Xcode’s main menu, then run your project. Unity then outputs statistics to the console window every 30 frames.
To enable the internal profiler on Android, access the Android Player Settings (menu: Edit > Project Settings > Player Settings, then select Android). In the Optimization section, enable the Enable Internal Profiler (Deprecated) setting. Make sure Development Build is enabled in the Build Settings when you build your app. Statistics will then display in logcat when your app runs on the device. To view logcat, ensure adb or the Android Debug Bridge is installed, and then run the shell command adb logcat.
