📄 20% (0.20x) speedup for
reshape_tensorininvokeai/backend/ip_adapter/resampler.py⏱️ Runtime :
719 microseconds→602 microseconds(best of109runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization replaces three separate tensor operations with a single chained operation. The original code performs
view(),transpose(1, 2), andreshape()sequentially, while the optimized version combines the view and transpose intoview().permute(0, 2, 1, 3).Key changes:
transpose()and finalreshape()operationspermute(0, 2, 1, 3)which directly achieves the same axis rearrangement as the original transpose+reshape sequenceWhy it's faster:
permute()can be more efficient than separatetranspose()andreshape()callsImpact on workloads:
Based on the function reference,
reshape_tensoris called three times per forward pass in an attention mechanism (for q, k, v tensors). Since this appears to be in a neural network's attention layer, the function likely executes frequently during model inference/training. The 19% speedup will compound across these multiple calls per forward pass.Test case performance:
The optimization shows consistent 40-70% improvements across most test cases, with particularly strong gains on larger tensors and edge cases where heads equals the embedding dimension. Even error cases show minimal overhead, maintaining the same exception behavior while being slightly faster in most cases.
