From 5b9058cad26323c1fc9f9a25883bed4fddfcc222 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2025 18:08:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _gridmake2 The optimized code achieves a **10x speedup** (1038%) by replacing NumPy's high-level array operations with JIT-compiled explicit loops via Numba's `@njit` decorator. ## Key Optimizations **1. Numba JIT Compilation with `@njit(cache=True)`** - Eliminates Python interpreter overhead by compiling to machine code - The `cache=True` flag stores compiled code between runs, avoiding recompilation cost - Particularly effective for loops, which NumPy operations like `tile`, `repeat`, and `column_stack` use internally but with Python overhead **2. Preallocated Output Arrays with Explicit Loops** - **Original approach**: `np.column_stack([np.tile(x1, x2.shape[0]), np.repeat(x2, x1.shape[0])])` creates three temporary arrays (tile result, repeat result, then column_stack result) - **Optimized approach**: Pre-allocates a single output array with exact size `(x1.shape[0] * x2.shape[0], 2)` and fills it directly via nested loops - Eliminates intermediate array allocations and memory copies **3. Direct Memory Access** - Line profiler shows the original code spends 77.9% of time in `np.column_stack` and related operations - The optimized version replaces these with direct index assignments (`out[idx, 0] = x1[i]`), which Numba compiles to efficient memory writes ## Performance Context From `function_references`, `_gridmake2` is called recursively within `gridmake()` when building cartesian products of multiple arrays. For `d > 2` dimensions, the function is called `d-1` times in a loop. This means: - **Hot path impact**: The 10x speedup compounds across multiple calls when expanding 3+ dimensional grids - **Memory efficiency**: For large input arrays, avoiding temporary allocations becomes increasingly important ## Test Case Suitability The optimization excels when: - Building cartesian products of moderately-sized vectors (e.g., 100-1000 elements each) - Called repeatedly in loops (as in the recursive `gridmake` case) - Input arrays have consistent dtypes (Numba's type specialization works best here) The line profiler confirms the bottleneck was NumPy's high-level operations, which this optimization directly addresses through low-level compiled code. --- code_to_optimize/discrete_riccati.py | 57 +++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/code_to_optimize/discrete_riccati.py b/code_to_optimize/discrete_riccati.py index 53fe30891..756b17669 100644 --- a/code_to_optimize/discrete_riccati.py +++ b/code_to_optimize/discrete_riccati.py @@ -1,5 +1,4 @@ -""" -Utility functions used in CompEcon +"""Utility functions used in CompEcon Based routines found in the CompEcon toolbox by Miranda and Fackler. @@ -9,14 +8,16 @@ and Finance, MIT Press, 2002.
