📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for
get_low_resolution_logitinsrc/transformers/models/mra/modeling_mra.py⏱️ Runtime :
4.47 milliseconds→4.16 milliseconds(best of199runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 7% speedup through several key tensor operation optimizations:
What was optimized:
Reduced repeated reshape operations: The original code called
.reshape()multiple times on the same tensors. The optimized version precomputesquery_reshaped,key_reshaped, andvalue_reshapedonce and reuses them, eliminating redundant tensor reshaping overhead.More efficient tensor creation: Replaced
block_size * torch.ones(...)withtorch.full(...), which directly creates the desired tensor values without an additional multiplication operation.In-place operations: Used
.div_()for the matmul scaling and.mul_()for mask penalty computation, reducing temporary tensor allocations.Eliminated redundant computations: Cached the denominator
token_count[:, :, None] + 1e-6asdenomto avoid computing it multiple times in the masked branch.Why it's faster:
These optimizations reduce both computational overhead and memory allocations. Tensor reshaping in PyTorch involves memory layout operations that become expensive when repeated. The in-place operations avoid creating intermediate tensors, and caching frequently-used expressions eliminates redundant arithmetic.
Performance characteristics:
The optimizations are most effective for scenarios without masks (10-13% speedup) where the reshape savings are more significant. With masks, the gains are smaller (1-7%) since the mask processing dominates runtime. The improvements scale consistently across different tensor sizes, making this beneficial for both small attention blocks and large-scale transformer computations.
