From b54e37d297667b6fb856950ada78e0b14d924f13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:45:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize tridiagonal_solve_jax The optimized code achieves a **20x speedup** (1995%) by applying JAX's Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation via the `@jit` decorator to `tridiagonal_solve_jax`. **Key optimization:** - **JIT compilation**: The `@jit` decorator compiles the entire function into optimized XLA (Accelerated Linear Algebra) machine code on first execution, then reuses this compiled version for subsequent calls. **Why this is dramatically faster:** 1. **Eliminates Python interpreter overhead**: Without JIT, every array operation and function call goes through Python's interpreter. The line profiler shows that even simple operations like `c[0] / b[0]` took ~1.17 seconds across 31 calls (~38ms each). JIT removes this overhead entirely by compiling to native code. 2. **Operator fusion**: JAX can fuse multiple array operations into single kernels. For example, operations like `(d_i - a_i * d_prev) / denom` become a single fused kernel instead of separate subtract, multiply, and divide operations, reducing memory bandwidth requirements. 3. **Optimizes the scan operations**: The two `lax.scan` calls (forward and backward passes) benefit significantly from JIT. The profiler shows these took ~515ms and ~348ms respectively in the original code. JIT enables better loop unrolling and vectorization within the scan kernels. 4. **Reduces array creation overhead**: Multiple `jnp.concatenate` and `jnp.array` calls (totaling ~644ms in the profiler) are optimized away or compiled into efficient buffer operations. **Impact**: This optimization is particularly effective for the tridiagonal solver because it's called repeatedly (31 times in the profile), and JIT compilation amortizes the one-time compilation cost across all invocations. The optimization benefits any workload that calls this function multiple times with similarly-shaped inputs, making it ideal for numerical PDE solvers, time-stepping algorithms, or batch processing scenarios. --- code_to_optimize/sample_code.py | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/code_to_optimize/sample_code.py b/code_to_optimize/sample_code.py index d356ce807..f13444358 100644 --- a/code_to_optimize/sample_code.py +++ b/code_to_optimize/sample_code.py @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ import numpy as np import tensorflow as tf import torch -from jax import lax +from jax import jit, lax def tridiagonal_solve(a: np.ndarray, b: np.ndarray, c: np.ndarray, d: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray: @@ -128,6 +128,7 @@ def _tridiagonal_back_step_jax(x_next, inputs): return x_i, x_i +@jit def tridiagonal_solve_jax(a, b, c, d): n = b.shape[0]
