RaycastCommand.ScheduleBatch minCommandsPerJob

So what is exactly minCommandsPerJob in RaycastCommand.ScheduleBatch.

And most important what is the sane number you can use as minCommandsPerJob on PC platform.

 

Wild guess but this may be related to innerLoopBatchCount, where you would start at 1 and increment it in powers of two until the performance boost stops growing. Is this correct?

 

I was thinking that maybe this number specify min commands the thread is going to be created for, so if you got less commands it is going to be performed in a main thread not in a new one.

 

i wondered the same thing, couldnt find any documentation for it today (3 years later).

i would guess that this value is somewhat related in how to parallelize the work?
e.g. if you add a total of 100 rays to cast, and you put minCommandsPerJob at 100 then it will be done async (from POV of the main thread) but only in 1 thread worker.

if you have a total of 100 and put minCommandsPerJob at 10, then it will run 10 workers parallel - which only makes sense if your CPU has atleast 4 cores + hyper threading, so it can actually parallelize 10 workers more or less reasonably.

if you have a total of 100 and put minCommandsPerJob at 20, then running it on a dual core mobile phone will not speed it up more than having minCommandsPerJob at 100 (for this certain hardware).

could this be correct?
