From 9b7edfdce6f8a5caa55db4099355d53b3774d5b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sharif Haason Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 12:35:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] PERF: Speed up permutation cluster tests ~15x via Numba JIT kernels The permutation loop in spatio_temporal_cluster_1samp_test is the main computational bottleneck for source-space cluster analyses. On fsaverage ico-5 (~20K vertices, 15 timepoints, 307K tests), 2048 permutations previously took ~14 seconds; this patch brings it to under 1 second on a 16-core EPYC. The key changes, roughly in order of impact: - Fused Numba union-find (_st_fused_ccl) replaces the Python BFS in _get_clusters_st. Handles both spatial neighbors (CSR adjacency) and temporal self-connections in a single compiled pass, avoiding the overhead of the old _get_clusters_spatial + _reassign loop. - Parallel permutation processing (_perm_batch_fast) fuses threshold scan + CCL + weighted bincount + argmax into one @jit(parallel=True) function with prange across permutations. Each perm gets its own pre-allocated work buffers to avoid data races. - Batched fused t-test (_batched_fused_ttest) reads X_T once from DRAM and computes t-statistics for 32 permutations, amortizing memory traffic ~32x. Uses prange across variables. - Single-perm fused t-test (_fused_ttest) replaces the numpy sequence (dot product + 8 elementwise ops) with one prange loop. - Compact-graph CCL in _get_components: builds a subgraph of only the supra-threshold vertices before calling connected_components, so CCL operates on ~1K vertices instead of ~20K. - Vectorized _pval_from_histogram with np.searchsorted (O(n log n) instead of O(n * n_perms)). - Vectorized _get_1samp_orders via bit-shifting instead of per-element np.fromiter(np.binary_repr(...)). - Pre-computed CSR arrays from _setup_adjacency, threaded through to _find_clusters and the permutation loop to avoid redundant neighbor-list-to-CSR conversion. All fast paths are gated behind has_numba checks and identity checks on the stat function (only activates for the built-in ttest_1samp_no_p and f_oneway). Non-Numba fallback paths are unchanged. Tested on EPYC 9R14 (16 vCPU), fsaverage ico-5, 15 subjects, 2048 permutations: 0.37 ms/perm wall time vs ~5.7 ms/perm baseline. --- doc/changes/dev/XXXXX.newfeature.rst | 1 + doc/changes/names.inc | 1 + mne/stats/cluster_level.py | 355 +++++++++++++++++++++++---- 3 files changed, 306 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) create mode 100644 doc/changes/dev/XXXXX.newfeature.rst diff --git a/doc/changes/dev/XXXXX.newfeature.rst b/doc/changes/dev/XXXXX.newfeature.rst new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..118eade8d8d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/changes/dev/XXXXX.newfeature.rst @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Speed up :func:`mne.stats.spatio_temporal_cluster_1samp_test` permutation loop by ~15x via Numba JIT kernels for the t-test, threshold extraction, and connected-component labeling steps, by :newcontrib:`Sharif Haason`. diff --git a/doc/changes/names.inc b/doc/changes/names.inc index 5191225daf3..5f82069540c 100644 --- a/doc/changes/names.inc +++ b/doc/changes/names.inc @@ -307,6 +307,7 @@ .. _Sena Er: https://github.com/sena-neuro .. _Senwen Deng: https://snwn.de .. _Seyed Yahya Shirazi: https://neuromechanist.github.io +.. _Sharif Haason: https://github.com/sharifhsn .. _Sheraz Khan: https://github.com/SherazKhan .. _Shresth Keshari: https://github.com/shresth-keshari .. _Shristi Baral: https://github.com/shristibaral diff --git a/mne/stats/cluster_level.py b/mne/stats/cluster_level.py index eb887e74a7d..4f15996a441 100644 --- a/mne/stats/cluster_level.py +++ b/mne/stats/cluster_level.py @@ -110,18 +110,119 @@ def _where_first(x): @jit() -def _masked_sum(x, c): -
