Method Pause

Pause()

Hint that the current thread should pause.

In Burst compiled code this will map to platform specific ways to hint that the current thread should be paused as it is performing a calculation that would benefit from not contending with other threads. Atomic operations in tight loops (like spin-locks) can benefit from use of this intrinsic.

• On x86 systems this maps to the pause instruction.
• On ARM systems this maps to the yield instruction.

Note that this is not an operating system level thread yield, it only provides a hint to the CPU that the current thread can afford to pause its execution temporarily.
