Audio Audio CPU usage for DSP plugins

Hi guys,

I've developed a few plugins for Unity and am trying to debug exactly how much CPU is being used by them and am a bit unsure of the profiler results.


As you can see from the image the audio profiler is telling me that 55% of audio CPU is being used from DSP CPU.

However, on the same frame, the CPU usage profiler is stating that only a minimal amount of CPU is actually being used.


Hopefully this means that very little CPU is being used by the plugins but then how come the audio profiler is stating that 55% of the audio CPU is being used? what is the total audio CPU? My only thought is that there is a very small allowance on audio CPU and that im already using up 55% of that allowance?? Im not sure but any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Bump. I too am confused about how Audio thread affects main thread performance.
