📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for standard_logei in optuna/_gp/acqf.py

⏱️ Runtime : 3.12 milliseconds 2.79 milliseconds (best of 130 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves an 11% speedup through three key optimizations:

1. Eliminated Redundant Computations
The original code computed intermediate values like 0.5 * z and -_SQRT_HALF * z multiple times within the same expression. The optimized version pre-computes these as z_half, minus_z_half_z, and sqrt_half_z, avoiding duplicate tensor operations.

2. More Efficient Condition Checking
Changed from z[(small := z < -25)]).numel() to (small := z < -25).any(). The .any() method is faster for boolean masks as it can short-circuit and doesn't need to count elements, just check if any exist.

3. Cleaner Intermediate Variable Management
The optimized code separates the complex chained operations into clear intermediate steps (erfc_val, exp_val, main_term), which helps PyTorch's optimizer and makes the computation flow more explicit.

Performance Impact by Test Case:

  • Best gains (20-35% faster): Small to medium tensors with mostly positive/mixed values where the first condition dominates
  • Modest gains (8-15% faster): Large tensors and high-dimensional cases
  • Slight slowdown (7% slower): Cases triggering the second condition (z < -25) due to additional variable assignments, but this is rare in practice

The optimizations are particularly effective for the common case where most z values are > -25, making the pre-computed intermediate values highly beneficial.
