📄 10% (0.10x) speedup for log_sum_exp in stanza/models/common/crf.py

⏱️ Runtime : 3.42 milliseconds 3.10 milliseconds (best of 164 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 10% speedup by replacing torch.max() with torch.amax() for finding maximum values along specified dimensions.

Key Change:

  • torch.max(value, dim=dim, keepdim=True)torch.amax(value, dim=dim, keepdim=True)
  • torch.max(value)torch.amax(value)

Why This Improves Performance:
torch.amax() is a more efficient implementation for computing maximum values compared to torch.max(). The key difference is that torch.max() returns both the maximum values and their indices as a tuple (values, indices), even when only the maximum values are needed. In contrast, torch.amax() returns only the maximum values, eliminating the overhead of computing and returning unused index information.

The line profiler results show this optimization is particularly effective:

  • Line with torch.max(value, dim=dim, keepdim=True): 24.4% → 19.7% of total time
  • Line with torch.max(value): 11% → 15.7% of total time (slight increase due to measurement variance, but overall function time decreased)

Test Case Benefits:
This optimization benefits all test cases uniformly since every call to log_sum_exp() requires computing maximum values for numerical stability. The speedup is consistent across various tensor sizes and dimensions, from small 2D tensors to large 1000-element tensors, making it effective for both typical usage patterns and performance-critical scenarios in the CRF model.
