📄 279% (2.79x) speedup for AlexNet.forward in code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py

⏱️ Runtime : 25.2 microseconds 6.65 microseconds (best of 388 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Here is the optimized version of your program.
Optimizations applied.

  • Since _extract_features always returns an empty list, and _classify just iterates over that, the result is always an empty list—no need to call both or pass any argument data around.
  • Skip the allocation and pass-through steps entirely, and just directly return the empty list in forward, which is the invariant result for any input.

All functions are preserved to match signatures, and comments are preserved unless code was changed.

This version has identical input/output but requires no memory allocations or iterations in .forward.
