📄 72% (0.72x) speedup for
SchedulerOutputProcessorMixin.add_input_logprob_return_valuesinpython/sglang/srt/managers/scheduler_output_processor_mixin.py⏱️ Runtime :
183 microseconds→106 microseconds(best of50runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code achieves a 72% speedup through several key performance improvements that reduce repeated computations and attribute lookups:
Key Optimizations:
Reduced attribute access overhead: The code caches frequently accessed values like
req.origin_input_ids[req.logprob_start_len:]intoslice_idsandself.server_args.multi_item_scoring_delimiterintomulti_item_delim, avoiding repeated property lookups that are expensive in Python.Optimized list operations:
_process_input_token_logprobs, the original[None] + input_token_logprobs[:-1]creates two temporary lists and concatenates them. The optimized version uses conditional extension (req.input_token_logprobs_val += input_token_logprobs[:-1]) only when needed._calculate_relevant_tokens_len, replaced the generator expression withslice_ids.count(multi_item_delim)which is a native C implementation and much faster for counting operations.Minimized repeated object creation: Uses local variables (
input_top_logprobs_val,input_token_ids_logprobs_val) instead of repeatedly accessingreqattributes, then assigns once at the end. This reduces both attribute lookup overhead and potential list reallocation.Smarter conditional checks: Added existence checks (
if temp_val and temp_idx:,if input_top_logprobs_val:) to avoid unnecessary operations on empty lists.Cached computation in main function: The
add_input_logprob_return_valuesfunction cachesreq.input_token_logprobsto a local variable to avoid repeated attribute access during the extend operation.Performance Impact by Test Case:
test_large_scale_regular_requestshows 89% speedup andtest_large_scale_multi_item_scoringshows 154% speedup, indicating these optimizations are particularly effective for high-throughput scenarios.test_basic_multi_item_scoring(18.9% faster) benefit from the optimized counting and list comprehension operations.The optimizations are especially valuable for logprob processing in language model inference pipelines, where these functions are called frequently during token generation and the input sizes can be substantial.
