[@adhochero6619]

wow those improvements are insane. still not 100% sure how to implement it in full games. would you do a tutorial on building a basic game with these new systems, with controllable player and enemies and health and all that?

[@mjaada]

In the first example Burst compiler removes the loop completely because the calculated value is not used after, if you make it so that you do use it, the performance gained is much less

[@AiSponge2]

are you sure the burst compiler is not ignoring the instructions because it's a dead function, I doubt that it improved it by 100x

[@AiSponge2]

exactly this is what I thought@@mjaada

[@akashverma4280]

Despite knowing this kind of high level stuff doesn't get much views but you still consider making such nice informative video. Please keep doing what you are doing. Efforts are greatly appreciated.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Many thanks!

[@autorotate1803]

If more people created videos such as this, maybe more will look at these. Difficult to explain subject explained very well.

[@thestonedraider8684]

would also be helpfull if dots was Actualy Implemented

[@JohnDoe-bo5yk]

It's like anything, really. A lot of people jump in and dabble to see if they like something but only those few dedicated will keep learning. That's why the beginner videos get the most views but these videos are actually the most helpful.

[@ottomaier7127]

I'm a C++/C# programmer with long years of experience. I was only watching this video because my nephew had a question to Multithreading with Unity and asked me to do so. And I have to say: That's an awful, phantastic video. Explained fast and very clear. Absolute great Job!!! Thank you!

[@ourfromr]

This is the best unity Job system tutorial on KZbin! keep it coming :)

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Here's the Job System video! So I've now covered all the basics for the new Unity DOTS Tech Stack. Make sure you watch the "DOTS Explained" and "Getting Started with ECS" videos. More complex ECS videos like a complete game coming soon!

[@maxmagna4610]

Great video! Can you please do a vid that explains how and when to use ECS and Jobs together?

[@houdinik]

in 12:02 if u dont have any diference enabling burst compiler, change in ProjectSettings->Player->Script Backend->Il2CPP

[@tndev6060]

U saved me

[@enitalp]

PS : The initial boost you get by enabling burstcompiler, is just the fact that your function actually does nothing, so the compiler optimized your code by removing it ;p Doing a calculation is not doing something, using the result for another thread or to display is actually doing something, When dealing with optimization it's hard to make a code that actually does something, Compiler are kind of very intelligent. The fastest code is the code you don't execute ;p

[@spiral9316]

These 3 videos.. King of ecs explanation. Definitely +respect.

Amazingly helpful tutorial! Best two videos I've seen on DOTS thus far.

[@peterarndt8475]

Thank you so much for this video. As an amateur with about half a year of programming experience, I'm still trying to get to grips with the implementation of concepts like thread safety and lambda expressions. Every other tutorial and instructional source I watched seemed to assume the viewer/reader was completely familiar with this level of coding and more, and only went through the syntax. You actually took the time to run through the basic logic of the code at a reasonable pace, which was so much more helpful.

[@cgh353]

Finished this tutorial today. I followed along step after step,Thank You.

[@ramizmollah8279]

Thank you for these great tutorials. You deserve more views.

[@meowsqueak]

The reason your cycle time improves so dramatically when you enable Burst Compile is because the burst compiler optimises your mathematical expression to a constant value. Ideally you’d use an iterative function and reuse the previous result, and eventually use the final value to prevent the compiler optimising it all away.

[@mrx10001]

Can you give an example of an interative function vs a non interative function?

[@scottbarley7760]

​@@mrx10001PerlinNoise is a good example I think, as its constantly changing, so cant be simplified to a single value by the complier; float[,] mapValues = new float[size, size]; for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) { mapValues[i, j] = Mathf.PerlinNoise(i * 0.01f, j * 0.01f); } }

[@warmbreezerising]

Thanks for all those good videos. I really like to say this is Great (or GREAT) job. They are all very clear, straight to the point, still providing good explanation and concrete examples. This is true for all your videos, showing ways to do this or that (implement a minimap, whatever), but also for explaining new features. And concerning this, your videos about DOTS are really really great: concrete explanation and illustration of DOTS which for me compensate for the poor unity documentation, and complements unity videos (gdc ones are good, but your provide better explanations). Best of it: they're up-to-date: with APIs change, it's hard to find up-to-date and accurate examples. I follow some unity youtubers, they're all good and very interesting, but you're most certainly one of the best. Overall video qualities: 10/10. Thanks so much :)

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Many thanks!

[@rcdemoral1982]

FYI: If you are using any of the methods for UnityEngine.Random (like Random.Range (-10, 10)) and you are "using Unity.Mathematics", then there is an error regarding ambiguity between Mathematics.Random and UnityEngine.Random, even though there isn't a random function for "math.". You have to add "using Random = UnityEngine.Random;".

Dude I nearly hit head against keyboard when I saw you putting whole heavy job in one thread... so I asked myself, omg, unity is so smart that it can split 50k loop into chunks :D :D

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yeah the parallelization of jobs works insanely well.

[@mightymarcos]

First of all you are really awesome for taking the time to do these videos. These take a lot of time to put together and I just wanted you to know that it's appreciated. Second, I am having strange results trying this on my own, when doing the hard math, the one that simulates a costly operation, I can mimic your results, burst compiler plus jobs yields an incredible gains. However, both methods for moving sprites, ends up actually being twice as slow, the opposite results.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Thanks! You can download the project files and check what differences you have in your code, make sure you're not doing something wrong regarding scheduling and completing the jobs.

[@geri4367]

Amazing as always! Keep them coming! I still can't imagine many cases I would use any of this in my games though :(

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

It depends heavily on the game, this is invaluable for games like RTS but not necessarily for a simple Platformer.

[@geri4367]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I can see it as an amazing tool for the pathfinding of an rts. But for most of the things that happen in an rts you need different objects to interact with each other. And from what I've seen interaction is not the most convenient thing to achieve with the DOTS stack. I'd love that you get into this kind of stuff in the future. I know that you are showing the basics in order to get into more complex stuff. So keep it up and thanks for making awesome content :)

[@programmer_matt]

thats insane!

[@nnslife]

11:53 the reason it goes down SO much, I guess, might be in the fact the corresponding "for" loop was cut out by the burst compiler optimiser completely (since you are setting the same value every single time). I highly-highly doubt your CPU can perform more than 1 billion "exp" and "sqrt" operations a second.

[@Yamyatos]

Well, yes and no. With the code from the video i get about 62ms. Enabling Jobs + Burst gets it down to ~0.034ms similar to the video. If i now go and change value to value+rand.NextFloat(0,1) with rand being a previously initialized Mathematics.Random (thus requiring the actual calculation each loop), the new times are about 84ms for default, and ~0.18ms with Jobs + Burst enabled. Jobs without Burst was about 19ms, so this is roughly a a speedup of a factor 100x, which is about the best Burst can do. That said, i had actually speedups of factor 70x in realistic workloads (procedural world generation) simply by turning on Burst. It's pretty freaking insane if you think about it.

[@kevinkevinfeng]

The burst performed so good that I could not believe it. I ran the same code with 50,000 loops * 10 tasks/jobs and get: 780ms without Job System 270ms with Job System ~0.09ms with Job & Burst So the Job System did about 3X performance, that I can understand because it managed to let the code run on 4 threads instead of 1. But the Burst Compiler did an extra of 3,000X? Insancely good that I acually cannot believe it. something must be wrong.

[@xxorza]

@@kevinkevinfeng try running it 5 million loops instead of 50 000. Then 5 billion. Same 0.09ms ? That is because compiler simply optimizes out your loop and never executes this code because 'value' is never used after calculation in this example

[@xxorza]

@@Yamyatos whats insane is what did vanilla compiler do to slow down exp(sqrt(float)) so much?

[@LoneXeaglE]

[@justinwhite2725]

Omg everyone talks about dots but this is the first time I’ve seen it defined. Nice!

[@GBennie]

These tutorials are great and I thank you for being the first to finally allow me to get my head around ECS but one thing I can't get my head around is doing something more complex in job system, like the pathfinding you mention, say you are using A* for your pathing method, would you need to pass in the whole map data to a native array first in some fashion?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Every job requires a complete copy of the data necessary so yes you would pass all the necessary A* map data to every job calculating a path.
