Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _lis_outer_body_jax
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The optimized code achieves a **62x speedup** (6121%) by adding `@jit` decorators to both `_lis_inner_body_jax` and `_lis_outer_body_jax` functions. This simple change enables JAX's Just-In-Time compilation, which fundamentally transforms how the code executes.

**What changed:**
- Added `@jit` decorator to both functions
- Added `jit` to the imports from `jax`

**Why this makes the code faster:**

1. **Eliminates Python interpreter overhead**: Without JIT, each array operation (`arr[j]`, `dp_inner[j]`, comparisons, etc.) triggers Python function calls and type checks. The line profiler shows the original `_lis_inner_body_jax` spent 0.537s on just 42 iterations. With JIT, these operations are compiled once into optimized machine code.

2. **Enables operation fusion**: JAX's compiler can fuse the sequence of operations in `_lis_inner_body_jax` (comparison → logical AND → jnp.where → array update) into a single optimized kernel, eliminating intermediate array allocations and memory transfers.

3. **Optimizes the hot loop**: The original line profiler shows `lax.fori_loop` taking 5.52s (100% of `_lis_outer_body_jax` time). With JIT, JAX optimizes the entire loop body, including the partial function application, into efficient compiled code that runs directly on the accelerator (GPU/TPU) or CPU without Python overhead.

4. **Amortizes compilation cost**: The first call compiles the function (visible in the ~20-110ms range for first calls in tests), but subsequent calls with same-shaped inputs reuse the compiled version. This is why tests show speedups from 1034% (large arrays) to 48000% (small arrays) - smaller inputs benefit more from eliminating per-call overhead.

**Performance characteristics based on test results:**
- Small arrays (2-10 elements): 40,000-48,000% speedup - compilation overhead is tiny compared to per-call Python overhead savings
- Medium arrays (100-200 elements): 2,500-4,800% speedup - good balance between compilation benefit and workload
- Large arrays (500 elements): 1,034-2,562% speedup - computation time dominates, but still significant gains from fused operations

**Impact on workloads:**
Since this appears to be implementing a longest increasing subsequence (LIS) dynamic programming algorithm, the optimization would be particularly beneficial for:
- Repeated LIS computations on similar-sized arrays (compilation happens once)
- Batch processing scenarios where the function is called many times
- Real-time applications where sub-millisecond latency matters
