c# - "synchronized"异步方法的开销是多少？

Question

这是方法返回任务的基准，但在后台同步运行。

class MainClass
{
    public static async Task<int> UsingAsyncModifier()
    {
        return 10;
    }

    public static Task<int> UsingTaskCompletionSource()
    {
        TaskCompletionSource<int> tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();
        tcs.SetResult(10);
        return tcs.Task;
    }

    public static Task<int> UsingTaskFromResult()
    {
        return Task.FromResult(10);
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        DateTime t = DateTime.Now;
        const int repeat = 10000; // Results volatile while repeat grows.
        Console.WriteLine("Repeat {0} times.", repeat);

        int j = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++)
        {
            j += UsingAsyncModifier().Result;
        }
        Console.WriteLine("UsingAsyncModifier: {0}", DateTime.Now - t);
        t = DateTime.Now;

        for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++)
        {
            j += UsingTaskCompletionSource().Result;
        }
        Console.WriteLine("UsingTaskCompletionSource: {0}", DateTime.Now - t);
        t = DateTime.Now;

        for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++)
        {
            j += UsingTaskFromResult().Result;
        }
        Console.WriteLine("UsingTaskFromResult: {0}", DateTime.Now - t);
    }
}

输出(重复 10,000/100,000/1000,000 次):

Repeat 10000 times.
UsingAsyncModifier: 00:00:00.1043980
UsingTaskCompletionSource: 00:00:00.0095270
UsingTaskFromResult: 00:00:00.0089460

重复 10,000 次，UsingTaskFromResult 比 UsingAsyncModifier 快 10 倍。

Repeat 100000 times.
UsingAsyncModifier: 00:00:00.1676000
UsingTaskCompletionSource: 00:00:00.0872020
UsingTaskFromResult: 00:00:00.0870180

重复 100,000 次，UsingTaskFromResult 比 UsingAsyncModifier 快 2 倍。

Repeat 1000000 times.
UsingAsyncModifier: 00:00:00.8458490
UsingTaskCompletionSource: 00:00:00.8870980
UsingTaskFromResult: 00:00:00.9027320

重复 1,000,000 次，UsingAsyncModifier 比 UsingTaskFromResult 稍快。

我的想法是，async 修饰符只是创建了一个已完成的任务，就像 Task.FromResult() 那样。但是benchmark并不能证明我的想法。为什么？

Answer 1

虽然我使用 DateTime 看到类似的结果，但使用 Stopwatch 进行时间测量表明使用 UsingAsyncModifier() 的迭代需要 2 次更多的持续时间(比使用 UsingTaskCompletionSource() 或 UsingTaskFromResult()，两者显示相同的近似持续时间)即使有 1 000 000 次迭代

这里是输出:

Repeat 1000000 times.
UsingAsyncModifier: 5458
UsingTaskCompletionSource: 2838
UsingTaskFromResult: 2556

用你的代码使用秒表

class Program
{
     public static async Task<int> UsingAsyncModifier()
    {
        return 10;
    }

    public static Task<int> UsingTaskCompletionSource()
    {
        TaskCompletionSource<int> tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();
        tcs.SetResult(10);
        return tcs.Task;
    }
    public static Task<int> UsingTaskFromResult()
    {
        return TaskEx.FromResult(10);
    }
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      //DateTime t = DateTime.Now;
      Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();
      const int repeat = 1000*1000; // Results volatile while repeat grows.
      Console.WriteLine("Repeat {0} times.", repeat);

        int j = 0;
        //DateTime t = DateTime.Now;
        timer.Start();
        for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++)
        {
            j += UsingAsyncModifier().Result;
        }
        timer.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("UsingAsyncModifier: {0}"
                          , timer.ElapsedMilliseconds);
        //t = DateTime.Now;
        timer.Reset();

        j = 0;

        timer.Start();
        for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++)
        {
            j += UsingTaskCompletionSource().Result;
        }
        timer.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("UsingTaskCompletionSource: {0}"
                           , timer.ElapsedMilliseconds);
        //t = DateTime.Now;
        timer.Reset();
        j = 0;
        timer.Start();
        for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++)
        {
          j += UsingTaskFromResult().Result;
        }
        timer.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine("UsingTaskFromResult: {0}"
                          , timer.ElapsedMilliseconds);

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Stephen Toub 在他的“Async Performance: Understanding the Costs of Async and Await”中解释道:

When working with synchronous code, methods with empty bodies are practically free. This is not the case for asynchronous methods
