# About Burst 

Burst is a compiler that you can use with Unity's [job system](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/JobSystem.html) to create code that enhances and improves your application's performance. It translates your code from IL/.NET bytecode to optimized native CPU code that uses the [LLVM compiler](https://llvm.org/). 

## Installation
To install this package, follow the instructions in the [Package Manager documentation](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-ui-actions.html).

If you change the Burst package version (for example, via Update), you need to close and restart the Editor.
