📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for PortManager.get_port in nvflare/lighter/tree_prov.py

⏱️ Runtime : 24.0 microseconds 22.5 microseconds (best of 787 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 6% speedup by implementing two key changes:

  1. Added class variable initialization: The original code assumed last_port_number existed as a class variable but never defined it, which would cause an AttributeError. The optimized version explicitly initializes last_port_number = 9000 as a class variable.

  2. Reduced attribute access overhead: Instead of the original pattern of incrementing and then returning the class variable (2 attribute accesses), the optimized version:

    • Calculates the new value in a local variable: num = cls.last_port_number + 1
    • Updates the class variable once: cls.last_port_number = num
    • Returns the local variable: return num

This optimization reduces class attribute lookups from 2 to 1 per method call. Since Python attribute access involves dictionary lookups on the class object, eliminating one lookup per call provides measurable performance gains.

The test results show this optimization is particularly effective for:

  • Sequential calls (16-34% faster on subsequent calls within the same test)
  • Large-scale operations (8-18% faster when called hundreds of times)
  • Edge cases with non-standard starting values (consistently 10-20% faster)

The performance gain comes from Python's attribute access mechanics - local variable access is significantly faster than repeated class attribute lookups, especially when the method is called frequently.

The optimized code achieves a 6% speedup by implementing two key changes:
