flowId | Profiler flow identifier. |
flowEventType | Flow event type. |
Add flow event to a Profiler sample.
Use Profiler flow events to highlight the dependencies between task execution on different threads.
Flow event works in conjunction with ProfilerMarker.

public class Example { public const int k_NumberOfTasks = 4;
static readonly ProfilerMarker k_ScheduleParallelTasksMarker = new ProfilerMarker("Schedule Parallel Tasks"); static readonly ProfilerMarker k_ParallelTaskMarker = new ProfilerMarker("Parallel Task"); static readonly ProfilerMarker k_TaskSyncMarker = new ProfilerMarker("Sync Task");
static void EmitFlowEventAndChainThread(uint flowId) { // Mark the next k_ParallelTaskMarker as a beginning of the flow ProfilerUnsafeUtility.FlowEvent(flowId, ProfilerFlowEventType.ParallelNext); using (k_ParallelTaskMarker.Auto()) { // Do work } }
static void ScheduleParallelTask() { uint flowId; var threads = new Thread[k_NumberOfTasks]; using (k_ScheduleParallelTasksMarker.Auto()) { flowId = ProfilerUnsafeUtility.CreateFlow(ProfilerUnsafeUtility.CategoryScripts); // Mark the parent k_ScheduleParallelTasksMarker as a beginning of the flow ProfilerUnsafeUtility.FlowEvent(flowId, ProfilerFlowEventType.Begin); for (var i = 0; i < k_NumberOfTasks; ++i) { var thread = new Thread(() => EmitFlowEventAndChainThread(flowId)); thread.Start(); threads[i] = thread; } }
using (k_TaskSyncMarker.Auto()) { // Mark the parent k_TaskSyncMarker as a beginning of the flow ProfilerUnsafeUtility.FlowEvent(flowId, ProfilerFlowEventType.End); for (var i = 0; i < k_NumberOfTasks; ++i) threads[i].Join(); } } }
You must use FlowEvent
together with a ProfilerMarker.
To mark the sample as a beginning or end of a flow, use FlowEvent
with ProfilerFlowEventType.Begin and ProfilerFlowEventType.End events within a scope that is instrumented with ProfilerMarker.Begin and ProfilerMarker.End, or within the using
scope of ProfilerMarker.Auto.
To mark the sample as a flow continuation point, use FlowEvent
with ProfilerFlowEventType.Next and ProfilerFlowEventType.ParallelNext before a call to ProfilerMarker.Begin or ProfilerMarker.Auto.
Note:
Unity Job System automatically marks up job scheduling, execution and wait points.
