Whats the system called that does async processing?

Hey all.

You know when you rebuild stuff and you get that nifty little callout box at the bottom right that tells you how many tasks are left (or how many shaders left to compile etc). Whats that called? What actually calls it?

I tried searching for async task, but that didn’t hit anything useful. I know I’ve read about this before, but can’t find the **** name to search for.

Much appreciated.

FNotificationInfo Info(*FText goes here*);

TWeakPtr<SNotificationItem> Notification = FSlateNotificationManager::Get().AddNotification(Info);
if (Notification.IsValid())
{
	Notification.Pin()->SetCompletionState(*SNotificationItem::ECompleteState goes here*);
}

I don’t believe the call itself is done async - blocking the main thread will of course block the refresh/display of these messages.
