📄 5% (0.05x) speedup for
MraOutput.forwardinsrc/transformers/models/mra/modeling_mra.py⏱️ Runtime :
1.79 milliseconds→1.70 milliseconds(best of138runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 5% speedup through two key optimizations:
1. Conditional Dropout Application
The original code always calls
self.dropout(hidden_states)regardless of training mode or dropout probability. The optimization adds a conditional checkif self.training and self.dropout.p > 0:to only apply dropout when actually needed. This eliminates unnecessary computation when:self.training = False)self.dropout.p == 0)From the line profiler, dropout execution time drops from 2.55M ns (33.5% of total) to 2.27M ns (29.9%), and the condition check adds only 129K ns (1.7%).
2. In-place Addition with
add_()The original code creates a new tensor with
hidden_states + input_tensor. The optimization useshidden_states.add_(input_tensor)to perform in-place addition, reducing memory allocation overhead. This saves approximately 100K ns in the LayerNorm line.Test Case Performance Analysis:
The optimization is particularly effective for inference scenarios where dropout is disabled, which represents the majority of production use cases.
