⚡️ Speed up function _gridmake2_torch by 7%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for _gridmake2_torch in code_to_optimize/discrete_riccati.py

⏱️ Runtime : 30.4 milliseconds → 28.4 milliseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 7% speedup by replacing torch.column_stack() with a more efficient combination of unsqueeze(1) and torch.cat().

Key optimization:

• Original approach: Uses torch.column_stack([first, second]) which internally creates intermediate column vectors and then stacks them.
• Optimized approach: Explicitly adds dimensions with unsqueeze(1) and concatenates with torch.cat([first, second], dim=1).

Why this is faster:
In PyTorch, torch.column_stack() is a convenience wrapper that performs multiple operations under the hood. By manually controlling the reshape operations with unsqueeze(1) and using torch.cat() directly, the optimized version:

1. Reduces function call overhead
2. Gives PyTorch's optimizer more explicit control over memory layout
3. Avoids potential intermediate tensor allocations that column_stack may create

Performance characteristics from test results:

• Small tensors (< 100 elements): Shows 0-10% performance variation, sometimes slightly slower due to overhead of additional unsqueeze calls
• Medium to large tensors (1000+ elements): Shows consistent 8-18% speedups, where the benefits of explicit dimension control outweigh the overhead
• Best performance: Large-scale cartesian products like test_large_scale_memory_efficiency (18.4% faster) and test_large_scale_2d_1d (15.4% faster)

Impact on workloads:
Based on the function_references, this function is called in GPU benchmark loops within bench_gridmake2_torch.py, where it processes tensors ranging from small (100 elements) to very large (250,000 rows). The optimization particularly benefits:

• GPU workloads with medium to large tensor sizes
• Hot paths in numerical computations requiring repeated cartesian products
• Scenarios where memory bandwidth is a bottleneck (explicit concatenation is more cache-friendly)

The optimization maintains identical functional behavior while providing measurable performance improvements for the most common use cases in computational economics applications.
