📄 17% (0.17x) speedup for
sorterinsrc/async_examples/concurrency.py⏱️ Runtime :
691 milliseconds→590 milliseconds(best of27runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimized code implements two key improvements to the bubble sort algorithm:
1. Early termination with swap detection: Added a
swappedflag that tracks whether any swaps occurred during a pass. If no swaps happen, the array is already sorted and the algorithm exits early viabreak. This is particularly effective for already-sorted or nearly-sorted inputs.2. Reduced comparison range: Changed the inner loop from
range(len(arr) - 1)torange(len(arr) - 1 - i). After each outer loop iteration, the largestielements are guaranteed to be in their final positions at the end of the array, so we don't need to check them again.Performance impact: The line profiler shows the inner loop iterations dropped from 2.3M to 1.1M (52% reduction), and overall runtime improved by 17%. The optimizations are most effective for:
These changes maintain identical sorting behavior and async functionality while dramatically reducing unnecessary work, especially evident in test cases with ordered or semi-ordered data.
