📄 236% (2.36x) speedup for
sigmoid_stableincodeflash/process/infer.py⏱️ Runtime :
4.55 milliseconds→1.36 milliseconds(best of121runs)📝 Explanation and details
Here is a faster and more memory-efficient version of the function. The bottleneck in the original implementation is calling
np.exp(x)twice forx < 0branches. We can computeexp_x = np.exp(x)once, then reuse it for both cases.This version calls
np.exponly once and chooses the correct formulation based onx, which results in a significant speedup and less redundant computation.✅ Correctness verification report:
