IJobFor

설명

For jobs allow you to perform the same independent operation for each element of a native container or for a fixed number of iterations. This Job type gives you the most flexibility over how you want your job scheduled.

The job allows multiple options on how you want to schedule the work to happen. :

Run will run the job on the main thread and finish immediately.

Schedule will schedule the job to run on a worker thread (or perhaps the main thread), but will indicate that the work should happen in a single thread. This option allows for work to be done off the main thread, but makes it easier to reason since the work will be performed sequentially.

ScheduleParallel will shedule the job to run on multiple worker threads concurrently. This scheduling option can give the best performance, but requires the user to understand conflicts that can occur when accessing the same data from multiple worker threads simultaneously.

Execute(int index) will be executed once for each index from 0 to the provided length.

Run and Schedule will guarantee that the the job's Execute(int index) method will be invoked sequentially.

ScheduleParallel does not give this guarantee as it will be called from multiple worker threads in parallel to each other. Each iteration must be independent from other iterations (The safety system enforces this rule for you). The indices have no guaranteed order and are executed on multiple cores in parallel. Unity automatically splits the work into chunks of no less than the provided batchSize, and schedules an appropriate number of jobs based on the number of worker threads, the length of the array and the batch size. Batch size should generally be chosen depending on the amount of work performed in the job. A simple job, for example adding a couple of Vector3 to each other should probably have a batch size of 32 to 128. However if the work performed is very expensive then it is best to use a small batch size, for expensive work a batch size of 1 is totally fine. IJobFor performs work stealing using atomic operations. Batch sizes can be small but they are not for free.

The returned JobHandle can be used to ensure that the job has completed. Or it can be passed to other jobs as a dependency, thus ensuring the jobs are executed one after another on the worker threads.
