Question WEBGL Memory limits

I read that WebGL has a 2GB Heap limit. What value should I track in my application in order to see if I'm reaching that limit?

• Total reserved memory
• System used memory
• GC used memory
• Total used memory
• GetMonoUsedSize
• GetMonoHeapSize

Any suggestion?

 

That 2GB limit is imposed by the browser for each tab, and this includes memory for everything on that tab - cache, images, html, javascript, the unity app and so on. Don't expect to be able to use all of that!

Depending on the target platform you will be having a hard time getting anywhere close to that, especially if you build for mobile you want to make sure memory usage is below 512 MB for the Unity app itself (maybe even altogether to be on the safe side, so don't embed in a complex webpage).

There's also the issue of memory fragmentation as allocating more memory beyond the initial allocation requires that requested free memory to be contiguous. So you cannot rely on any allocation beyond the initial memory budget to succeed, thus it's best to stay well below that initially defined budget.

Best practice is to use the Firefox profiler, as mentioned here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/profiler-for-webgl.997991/
