The Unity C# Job System allows users to write multithreaded code that interacts well with the rest of Unity and makes it easier to write correct code.
Writing multithreaded code can provide high-performance benefits. These include significant gains in frame rate. Using the Burst compiler with C# jobs gives you improved code generation quality, which also results in substantial reduction of battery consumption on mobile devices.
An essential aspect of the C# Job System is that it integrates with what Unity uses internally (Unity’s native job system). User-written code and Unity share worker threads. This cooperation avoids creating more threads than CPU cores, which would cause contention for CPU resources.
