📄 13% (0.13x) speedup for compute_transpose_output_shape in keras/src/ops/operation_utils.py

⏱️ Runtime : 288 microseconds 256 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 12% speedup by eliminating an unnecessary list() conversion and leveraging tuple efficiency for indexing operations.

Key Optimizations:

  1. Eliminated unnecessary list conversion: The original code converts input_shape to a list even when it's already a sequence. The optimized version converts directly to a tuple once, avoiding the intermediate list creation.

  2. Leveraged tuple indexing efficiency: Tuples are more memory-efficient and faster for indexing operations than lists in Python. Since the function only needs to read values by index (not modify them), tuple is the optimal data structure.

  3. Reduced memory allocations: By converting to tuple once and reusing it, the optimization reduces memory pressure and eliminates redundant conversions.

Performance Impact Analysis:

  • Best gains on axes=None cases: Tests show 22-40% improvements when axes=None because tuple slicing (shape[::-1]) is significantly faster than list slicing
  • Moderate gains on permutation cases: 5-13% improvements for custom axes due to faster tuple indexing
  • Excellent scaling: Large shapes (1000 dimensions) see up to 171% improvement for reverse operations and 7-10% for permutations

Hot Path Impact:
Based on the function references, this optimization is particularly valuable because the function is called from:

  • TensorFlow sparse tensor operations (tf.sparse.transpose)
  • Keras tensor output shape computation in the ops layer

These are likely performance-critical paths where tensor shapes are computed frequently during model execution and compilation, making even small per-call improvements significant when aggregated across many operations.

The optimization maintains identical behavior and error handling while providing consistent performance gains across all test scenarios.
