📄 318% (3.18x) speedup for quadrect in quantecon/quad.py

⏱️ Runtime : 14.8 milliseconds 3.53 milliseconds (best of 24 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 318% speedup by targeting the qnwequi function bottlenecks with Numba JIT compilation and caching optimizations:

Key Optimizations:

  1. Numba JIT compilation for computational hotspots: Added @njit helper functions (_njit_prod, _njit_broadcast_repeat, _njit_arange_int64, _outer_and_subtract_fix) that replace slow pure Python operations with compiled code. The line profiler shows these operations taking 140-180ms in the original vs much faster execution in the optimized version.

  2. Optimized outer product and fix operations: The original code used np.outer(i, j) followed by (nodes - fix(nodes)) which creates large intermediate arrays. The new _outer_and_subtract_fix functions compute the result directly in a single pass, avoiding memory allocation overhead.

  3. Global caching for prime calculations: Added module-level caching for equidist_pp computation that avoids expensive sympy prime generation on repeated calls. The line profiler shows sympy import/computation taking ~380ms originally but only ~255ms in optimized version due to caching.

  4. Efficient array broadcasting: Replaced np.repeat calls with the optimized _njit_broadcast_repeat function that handles the common case of broadcasting scalars to arrays more efficiently.

Performance Impact by Test Case:

  • Equidistributed sequences (N, W, H kinds): Show dramatic improvements of 1000-8400% speedup, as these heavily utilize the optimized outer product operations
  • Random sequences (R kind): Benefit from faster array handling, showing 690-1090% speedup
  • Traditional quadrature (lege, cheb, trap, simp): Show modest improvements of 0-5% since they primarily use the existing _make_multidim_func path

Function Usage Context: Based on the test references, quadrect is used extensively in quantitative economics for numerical integration across multiple quadrature methods and dimensions. The optimizations particularly benefit Monte Carlo and equidistributed sequence methods that are commonly used for high-dimensional integration problems in economics and finance applications.

The optimized code achieves a **318% speedup** by targeting the `qnwequi` function bottlenecks with Numba JIT compilation and caching optimizations:

**Key Optimizations:**

1. **Numba JIT compilation for computational hotspots**: Added `@njit` helper functions (`_njit_prod`, `_njit_broadcast_repeat`, `_njit_arange_int64`, `_outer_and_subtract_fix`) that replace slow pure Python operations with compiled code. The line profiler shows these operations taking 140-180ms in the original vs much faster execution in the optimized version.

2. **Optimized outer product and fix operations**: The original code used `np.outer(i, j)` followed by `(nodes - fix(nodes))` which creates large intermediate arrays. The new `_outer_and_subtract_fix` functions compute the result directly in a single pass, avoiding memory allocation overhead.

3. **Global caching for prime calculations**: Added module-level caching for `equidist_pp` computation that avoids expensive sympy prime generation on repeated calls. The line profiler shows sympy import/computation taking ~380ms originally but only ~255ms in optimized version due to caching.

4. **Efficient array broadcasting**: Replaced `np.repeat` calls with the optimized `_njit_broadcast_repeat` function that handles the common case of broadcasting scalars to arrays more efficiently.

**Performance Impact by Test Case:**
- **Equidistributed sequences** (N, W, H kinds): Show dramatic improvements of **1000-8400%** speedup, as these heavily utilize the optimized outer product operations
- **Random sequences** (R kind): Benefit from faster array handling, showing **690-1090%** speedup  
- **Traditional quadrature** (lege, cheb, trap, simp): Show modest improvements of **0-5%** since they primarily use the existing `_make_multidim_func` path

**Function Usage Context**: Based on the test references, `quadrect` is used extensively in quantitative economics for numerical integration across multiple quadrature methods and dimensions. The optimizations particularly benefit Monte Carlo and equidistributed sequence methods that are commonly used for high-dimensional integration problems in economics and finance applications.
