# PyTorch Inference Optimization: Comprehensive Guidelines
## 1. Model Preparation
### 1.1 Set Inference Mode
**Description:** Always prepare models for inference by setting evaluation mode and disabling gradients.
\`\`\`python
model.eval() # Disables dropout and uses running stats for BatchNorm
with torch.no_grad(): # or torch.inference_mode() in newer PyTorch
output = model(input_tensor)
\`\`\`
### 1.2 Load Model Efficiently
**Description:** Load models correctly, avoiding redundant operations.
\`\`\`python
model = MyModel()
model.load_state_dict(torch.load("model.pth"))
model.to(device) # Move to target device once, not repeatedly
\`\`\`
### 1.3 Perform Model Warm-up
**Description:** Execute a few dummy inferences to initialize lazy initializations, JIT compilations, and cache kernel optimizations.
\`\`\`python
# Warm-up pass with representative input size
dummy_input = torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224, device=device)
for _ in range(5): # Multiple warm-up iterations
with torch.no_grad():
model(dummy_input)
\`\`\`
## 2. Data Processing Optimization
### 2.1 Use Pinned Memory
**Description:** Accelerate CPU-to-GPU transfers with pinned memory for input data.
\`\`\`python
# In DataLoader initialization
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=32, pin_memory=True)
# Manual pinning
cpu_tensor = torch.randn(1000, 1000).pin_memory()
gpu_tensor = cpu_tensor.to('cuda', non_blocking=True)
\`\`\`
### 2.2 Optimize Preprocessing
**Description:** Move data preprocessing to separate threads and use GPU-accelerated operations when possible.
\`\`\`python
# Multi-threaded data loading
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=32, num_workers=4)
# GPU-accelerated image decoding (when applicable)
decoded_image = torchvision.io.decode_jpeg(image_bytes, device=device)
\`\`\`
### 2.3 Minimize Data Movement
**Description:** Avoid unnecessary data transfers between CPU and GPU.
\`\`\`python
# Bad: Repeated transfers
for x in data:
x_gpu = x.to(device)
out = model(x_gpu)
result = out.cpu().numpy() # Premature transfer
# Better: Keep on GPU until necessary
outputs = []
for x in data:
x_gpu = x.to(device)
outputs.append(model(x_gpu))
# Process all outputs on GPU, then transfer once
result = torch.cat(outputs).cpu().numpy()
\`\`\`
## 3. Vectorization and Python Overhead
### 3.1 Eliminate Python Loops
**Description:** Replace Python-side loops with vectorized tensor operations.
\`\`\`python
# Slow: Python loop
result = []
for i in range(tensor.size(0)):
result.append(process_single(tensor[i]))
result = torch.stack(result)
# Fast: Vectorized operation
result = process_batch(tensor) # Single call processing all elements
\`\`\`
### 3.2 Avoid Item Access in Loops
**Description:** Prevent device synchronization by avoiding .item() or .numpy() on GPU tensors inside loops.
\`\`\`python
# Slow: Forces synchronization each iteration
total = 0
for i in range(len(outputs)):
total += outputs[i].sum().item()
# Fast: Keep computation on GPU until the end
total = sum(output.sum() for output in outputs).item()
\`\`\`
### 3.3 Use In-place Operations When Appropriate
**Description:** Save memory and potentially reduce execution time with in-place operations.
\`\`\`python
# In-place normalization example
x = torch.randn(100, 3, 224, 224)
# In-place subtraction and division
x.sub_(x.mean(dim=[2, 3], keepdim=True)).div_(x.std(dim=[2, 3], keepdim=True) + 1e-5)
\`\`\`
## 4. TorchScript, JIT and Compilation
### 4.1 Use TorchScript for Optimization
**Description:** Convert models to TorchScript for static optimization and reduced Python overhead.
\`\`\`python
# Script mode (for models with control flow)
scripted_model = torch.jit.script(model)
# Trace mode (for models with fixed execution path)
example_input = torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224, device=device)
traced_model = torch.jit.trace(model, example_input)
# Further optimize for inference
traced_model = torch.jit.optimize_for_inference(traced_model)
\`\`\`
### 4.2 Leverage torch.compile (PyTorch 2.x)
**Description:** Use PyTorch's newer compilation system for automatic optimization of models.
\`\`\`python
# Basic usage
from torch._dynamo import optimize
optimized_model = torch.compile(model)
# or with specific backend
optimized_model = torch.compile(model, backend="inductor")
# Use the optimized model
output = optimized_model(input_tensor)
\`\`\`
### 4.3 Freeze Models for Inference
**Description:** Eliminate training-only code paths and inline parameters for faster execution.
\`\`\`python
# After scripting/tracing
scripted_model = torch.jit.script(model)
frozen_model = torch.jit.freeze(scripted_model)
\`\`\`
## 5. Precision and Quantization
### 5.1 Use FP16 on Compatible GPUs
**Description:** Leverage half-precision on GPUs with Tensor Cores to nearly double throughput.
\`\`\`python
# Convert model to half precision
model = model.half()
# Using Automatic Mixed Precision
with torch.cuda.amp.autocast():
output = model(input.half())
\`\`\`
### 5.2 Apply Dynamic Quantization
**Description:** Quantize weights to INT8 post-training for CPU inference, particularly for linear/RNN models.
\`\`\`python
# Quantize a model with linear layers to INT8
quantized_model = torch.quantization.quantize_dynamic(
model, {torch.nn.Linear}, dtype=torch.qint8
)
\`\`\`
### 5.3 Use Static Quantization
**Description:** Quantize both weights and activations using calibration data for greater speedup.
\`\`\`python
# Example for static quantization workflow
model.eval()
# Set up quantization configuration
model.qconfig = torch.quantization.get_default_qconfig('fbgemm')
torch.quantization.prepare(model, inplace=True)
# Calibrate with sample data
for data in calibration_data:
model(data)
# Convert to quantized model
torch.quantization.convert(model, inplace=True)
\`\`\`
## 6. Memory Management
### 6.1 Optimize Batch Size
**Description:** Find the optimal batch size that maximizes throughput without exceeding memory limits.
\`\`\`python
# Simple batch size search
best_batch_size = 0
best_throughput = 0
for batch_size in [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128]:
try:
# Measure throughput for this batch size
throughput = benchmark_throughput(model, batch_size)
if throughput > best_throughput:
best_throughput = throughput
best_batch_size = batch_size
except RuntimeError: # OOM error
break
\`\`\`
### 6.2 Reuse Allocated Memory
**Description:** Avoid repeated allocations by reusing existing tensors.
\`\`\`python
# Pre-allocate output tensor
output = torch.empty(batch_size, num_classes, device=device)
# Use out parameter to write into existing tensor
torch.softmax(logits, dim=1, out=output)
\`\`\`
### 6.3 Manage Memory Fragmentation
**Description:** Clear cache periodically and structure allocation patterns to avoid fragmentation.
\`\`\`python
# Clear cache when switching between models
torch.cuda.empty_cache()
# Pre-allocate largest tensors first
large_tensor = torch.empty(large_size, device=device)
small_tensor = torch.empty(small_size, device=device)
\`\`\`
## 7. GPU-Specific Optimizations
### 7.1 Enable cuDNN Benchmarking
**Description:** Allow cuDNN to optimize for specific input sizes when they are consistent.
\`\`\`python
# Enable for fixed-size inputs (disable for variable sizes)
torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = True
# Ensure deterministic results if needed (slower)
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True
\`\`\`
### 7.2 Use Multiple GPUs Effectively
**Description:** Scale inference across multiple GPUs when single-GPU throughput is insufficient.
\`\`\`python
# Simple approach: different models on different GPUs
model1 = model.to('cuda:0')
model2 = model.to('cuda:1')
# Process different batches on different GPUs
def process_batch(batch, gpu_id):
device = f'cuda:{gpu_id}'
return model.to(device)(batch.to(device))
# Process in parallel using multiple workers
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
futures = [executor.submit(process_batch, batch, i % num_gpus)
for i, batch in enumerate(batches)]
results = [f.result() for f in futures]
\`\`\`
### 7.3 Optimize GPU Memory Format
**Description:** Use memory formats that align with hardware access patterns.
\`\`\`python
# For convolutional models, use channels_last format on GPU
model = model.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
input_tensor = input_tensor.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
\`\`\`
## 8. CPU-Specific Optimizations
### 8.1 Manage Thread Count
**Description:** Control the number of threads based on workload and system resources.
\`\`\`python
# Set number of threads for intra-op parallelism
torch.set_num_threads(num_cores)
# Set via environment variables for more control
# OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 MKL_NUM_THREADS=4 python script.py
\`\`\`
### 8.2 Enable OneDNN Optimizations
**Description:** Leverage Intel MKL-DNN optimizations for x86 CPUs.
\`\`\`python
# Enable OneDNN with JIT
torch.jit.enable_onednn_fusion(True)
# For TorchScript models
scripted_model = torch.jit.script(model)
torch.jit.enable_onednn_fusion(True)
output = scripted_model(input_tensor)
\`\`\`
### 8.3 Optimize Thread Affinity
**Description:** Bind threads to specific cores to improve CPU cache utilization.
\`\`\`bash
# Linux example (run from shell)
OMP_PROC_BIND=CLOSE OMP_PLACES=cores python inference_script.py
\`\`\`
## 9. Model Export and Deployment
### 9.1 Export to ONNX
**Description:** Convert models to ONNX for deployment on optimized runtimes.
\`\`\`python
# Basic ONNX export
dummy_input = torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224, device=device)
torch.onnx.export(
model,
dummy_input,
"model.onnx",
opset_version=13,
input_names=["input"],
output_names=["output"],
dynamic_axes={"input": {0: "batch_size"}, "output": {0: "batch_size"}}
)
\`\`\`
### 9.2 Use ONNX Runtime
**Description:** Leverage ONNX Runtime for optimized inference across various hardware.
\`\`\`python
import onnxruntime as ort
# Create inference session
session = ort.InferenceSession(
"model.onnx",
providers=["CUDAExecutionProvider", "CPUExecutionProvider"]
)
# Run inference
input_name = session.get_inputs()[0].name
output = session.run(
None,
{input_name: input_numpy}
)[0]
\`\`\`
### 9.3 Integrate with TensorRT
**Description:** Use NVIDIA TensorRT for maximum GPU performance.
\`\`\`python
# Using torch-tensorrt integration
import torch_tensorrt
# Convert to TensorRT engine
trt_model = torch_tensorrt.compile(
model,
inputs=[torch_tensorrt.Input(
min_shape=[1, 3, 224, 224],
opt_shape=[8, 3, 224, 224],
max_shape=[16, 3, 224, 224],
dtype=torch.float32
)],
enabled_precisions={torch.float16} # Enable FP16
)
# Run inference with TensorRT-optimized model
output = trt_model(input_tensor)
\`\`\`
## 10. Architecture-Specific Optimizations
### 10.1 Optimize CNNs
**Description:** Apply specific optimizations for convolutional networks.
\`\`\`python
# Fuse Conv+BN+ReLU during inference
# (Often happens automatically in torch.jit.optimize_for_inference)
# Disable bias for convolutions before batch norm
conv = nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, bias=False)
bn = nn.BatchNorm2d(out_channels)
\`\`\`
### 10.2 Optimize RNNs and LSTMs
**Description:** Improve recurrent model performance with sequence handling optimizations.
\`\`\`python
# Sort sequences by length for optimal packing
lengths, indices = torch.sort(torch.LongTensor(sequence_lengths), descending=True)
sorted_sequences = sequences[indices]
# Pack padded sequences
packed_input = nn.utils.rnn.pack_padded_sequence(
sorted_sequences, lengths.tolist(), batch_first=True
)
# Use optimized RNN implementation
rnn = nn.LSTM(input_size, hidden_size, batch_first=True)
output, _ = rnn(packed_input)
# Unpack result
output, _ = nn.utils.rnn.pad_packed_sequence(output, batch_first=True)
# Restore original order
_, original_indices = torch.sort(indices)
output = output[original_indices]
\`\`\`
### 10.3 Optimize Transformers
**Description:** Accelerate transformer-based models with specialized attention optimizations.
\`\`\`python
# Use Flash Attention when available
from torch.nn.functional import scaled_dot_product_attention
def optimized_attention(q, k, v, mask=None):
return scaled_dot_product_attention(q, k, v, attn_mask=mask)
# Minimize padding by grouping similar-length sequences
def group_by_length(sequences, lengths):
# Sort by length
lengths, indices = torch.sort(lengths, descending=True)
sequences = sequences[indices]
# Find breakpoints for reasonably similar lengths
# (Implementation depends on length distribution)
return sequences, lengths, indices, breakpoints
\`\`\`
## 11. Profiling and Benchmarking
### 11.1 Profile Operation-Level Performance
**Description:** Identify bottleneck operations using PyTorch's profiler.
\`\`\`python
from torch.profiler import profile, record_function, ProfilerActivity
with profile(
activities=[ProfilerActivity.CPU, ProfilerActivity.CUDA],
record_shapes=True,
profile_memory=True,
with_stack=True
) as prof:
with record_function("model_inference"):
output = model(input)
# Print summary
print(prof.key_averages().table(sort_by="cuda_time_total", row_limit=10))
# Export trace for visualization in Chrome tracing
prof.export_chrome_trace("trace.json")
\`\`\`
### 11.2 Measure Throughput and Latency
**Description:** Evaluate both per-request latency and overall throughput to optimize for your use case.
\`\`\`python
def benchmark_latency_throughput(model, input_shape, batch_sizes, num_iterations=100):
results = {}
for batch_size in batch_sizes:
# Create input of appropriate batch size
batch_input = torch.randn(batch_size, *input_shape[1:], device=device)
# Warmup
for _ in range(10):
with torch.no_grad():
model(batch_input)

# Add more techniques as needed
return results
\`\`\`
## 12. Common Pitfalls and Solutions
### 12.1 Avoid Training-Mode Artifacts

\`\`\`python
# Always check if model is in eval mode
assert not model.training, "Model must be in eval mode for inference"

for i in range(100):
output = model(input)
process_output(output)
# Check memory usage periodically
if i % 10 == 0:
print(f"Iteration {i}, "
f"allocated: {torch.cuda.memory_allocated() / 1e6}MB, "

# Optimizable Rust Code: Comprehensive Engineering Guidelines
## 1. Variable Management
### 1.1. Prefer Shadowing Over Mutation
**Description**: Use variable shadowing instead of mutation when transforming values in steps. This signals to the compiler that the old value won't be used again, potentially eliminating unnecessary memory operations.
\`\`\`rust
// Preferred: Shadowing
let val = x;
let val = val + 5;
let val = val * 2;
// Less optimal: Mutation
let mut val = x;
val = val + 5;
val = val * 2;
\`\`\`
### 1.2. Minimize Variable Scope
**Description**: Declare variables in the smallest possible scope and only when needed. This helps the compiler optimize register usage and lifetimes.
\`\`\`rust
// Preferred
{
let b = expensive_computation();
use_b(b);
} // \`b\` goes out of scope here
let c = other_computation();
\`\`\`
### 1.3. Leverage Scope Separation
**Description**: Use inner blocks to limit variable lifetimes when values are no longer needed, allowing the compiler to reuse registers.
\`\`\`rust
fn foo() {
let a = expensive_computation();
{
let b = a + 1;
println!("{}", b);
} // \`b\` goes out of scope here
let c = a * 2; // compiler may reuse b's register
println!("{}", c);
}
\`\`\`
## 2. Mathematical and Logical Operations
### 2.1. Write Clear Expressions
**Description**: Express arithmetic and logic in straightforward expressions. The compiler will perform constant folding, strength reduction, and common subexpression elimination.
\`\`\`rust
// Preferred - compiler will optimize
let z = 2 + 2 * 4; // Will be optimized to \`let z = 10;\`
// No need for manual optimizations like this:
let z = 2 + (2 << 2); // Unnecessary; compiler recognizes multiplication by powers of 2
\`\`\`
### 2.2. Use Explicit Wrapping Operations When Needed
**Description**: In performance-critical debug builds, use explicit wrapping operations to avoid overflow checks. In release builds, normal operators already use wrapping semantics.
\`\`\`rust
// In debug builds, this avoids overflow checks
let result = x.wrapping_add(y);
// In release builds, this is equivalent to:
let result = x + y;
\`\`\`
### 2.3. Consider Branchless Alternatives
**Description**: For simple conditional operations, bitwise operations can sometimes replace branches to avoid pipeline stalls on branch mispredictions.
\`\`\`rust
// Branchless absolute difference
fn abs_diff_branchless(x: i32, y: i32) -> u32 {
let diff = x - y;
((diff >> 31) ^ diff) as u32
}
\`\`\`
### 2.4. Be Mindful of IEEE-754 Floating-Point Semantics
**Description**: By default, Rust honors IEEE-754 rules for floating-point operations. Don't expect optimizations that could change results via reassociation.
\`\`\`rust
// These won't be optimized to a*(b+c) due to potential rounding differences
let result = (a * b) + (a * c);
\`\`\`
## 3. Function Calls and Inlining
### 3.1. Use \`#[inline]\` for Cross-Crate Small Functions
**Description**: Mark small, performance-critical functions with \`#[inline]\` to enable inlining across crate boundaries, especially in libraries.
\`\`\`rust
#[inline]
pub fn critical_small_function(x: u32) -> u32 {
x.wrapping_mul(x).wrapping_add(x)
}
\`\`\`
### 3.2. Avoid Relying on Tail-Call Optimization
**Description**: Rust does not guarantee tail-call optimization. Refactor deep recursive algorithms to use loops or explicit stacks.
\`\`\`rust
// Don't rely on TCO for this:
fn factorial_recursive(n: u64, acc: u64) -> u64 {
if n == 0 { return acc; }
factorial_recursive(n - 1, acc * n) // Not guaranteed to be optimized as a loop
}
// Prefer this:
fn factorial_iterative(n: u64) -> u64 {
let mut acc = 1;
for i in 1..=n {
acc *= i;
}
acc
}
\`\`\`
### 3.3. Prefer Static Dispatch in Hot Paths
**Description**: Use generics (static dispatch) over trait objects (dynamic dispatch) in performance-critical code to enable inlining and whole-function optimizations.
\`\`\`rust
// Preferred for hot paths (static dispatch)
fn process_static<P: Processor>(processor: &P, data: &mut [u8]) {
processor.process(data); // Can be inlined
}
// Less optimal for hot paths (dynamic dispatch)
fn process_dynamic(processor: &dyn Processor, data: &mut [u8]) {
processor.process(data); // Virtual call, cannot be inlined
}
\`\`\`
### 3.4. Use \`#[inline(always)]\` Sparingly
**Description**: Reserve \`#[inline(always)]\` for extremely hot, small functions where profiling confirms the benefit. Excessive use can increase code size and hurt instruction cache.
\`\`\`rust
#[inline(always)] // Use only when confirmed beneficial through profiling
fn absolutely_critical_tiny_function(x: u32) -> u32 {
x & 0xFF
}
\`\`\`
## 4. Looping Constructs
### 4.1. Prefer Iterators for Array Access
**Description**: Use iterators over explicit indexing when possible. They often compile to the same code but can better help the compiler eliminate bounds checks.
\`\`\`rust
// Preferred: Iterator approach
fn sum_iter(arr: &[u32]) -> u32 {
let mut sum = 0;
for &val in arr { // No bounds check needed
sum += val;
}
sum
}
// Less optimal: May require bounds checks
fn sum_index(arr: &[u32]) -> u32 {
let mut sum = 0;
for i in 0..arr.len() {
sum += arr[i]; // Potential bounds check (though often optimized away)
}
sum
}
\`\`\`
### 4.2. Structure Loops for Bounds Check Elimination
**Description**: Write loops that clearly iterate within array bounds to help the compiler eliminate bounds checks.
\`\`\`rust
// Pre-slicing guarantees iterations are in bounds
let slice = &arr[0..n];
for i in 0..slice.len() {
// No bounds check needed for slice[i]
process(slice[i]);
}
\`\`\`
### 4.3. Write Vectorization-Friendly Loops
**Description**: Structure loops to enable auto-vectorization by the compiler: prefer simple, straight-line inner loops with regular indexing or iterators, avoid complex control flow, and ensure contiguous memory access.
\`\`\`rust
// Auto-vectorizable loop
pub fn sum_pairs(buf: &[u16]) -> u32 {
let mut sum = 0u32;
for chunk in buf.chunks_exact(8) { // Process in chunks for vectorization
for &val in chunk {
sum = sum.wrapping_add(val as u32);
}
}
// Handle remainder separately
for &val in buf.chunks_exact_remainder() {
sum = sum.wrapping_add(val as u32);
}
sum
}
\`\`\`
### 4.4. Avoid Early Exits in Hot Loops
**Description**: Loops that always run to completion of a known length are easier for the compiler to unroll and vectorize than those with early exits.
\`\`\`rust
// Harder to vectorize due to early exit
for val in data {
if condition(val) {
return early_result; // Early exit
}
// ...
}
// Easier to vectorize - separate the filtering
let filtered: Vec<_> = data.iter().filter(|val| !condition(val)).collect();
for val in filtered {
// Process without early exits
}
\`\`\`
### 4.5. Use Simple Iterator Chains
**Description**: While iterator chains (map, filter, etc.) are typically zero-cost, very complex chains with closures might make optimization harder. Benchmark and simplify if needed.
\`\`\`rust
// May be harder to optimize if very complex with many closures
let result = data.iter()
.map(|x| complex_fn1(x))
.filter(|x| complex_predicate(x))
.flat_map(|x| complex_expansion(x))
.collect::<Vec<_>>();
// Consider breaking into simpler steps if profiling shows an issue
\`\`\`
## 5. Memory Layout and Access
### 5.1. Leverage Rust's Default Field Ordering
**Description**: Use Rust's default layout (\`repr(Rust)\`) to allow the compiler to reorder struct fields for minimal padding and optimal memory use.
\`\`\`rust
// Let compiler optimize the layout
struct OptimizedStruct {
byte: u8,
word: u16,
dword: u32,
qword: u64,
}
\`\`\`
### 5.2. Manually Order Fields When Using repr(C)
**Description**: When using \`repr(C)\` for FFI, manually order fields from largest to smallest to minimize padding.
\`\`\`rust
#[repr(C)]
struct CStruct {
// Order from largest to smallest alignment requirements
qword: u64, // 8-byte alignment
dword: u32, // 4-byte alignment
word: u16, // 2-byte alignment
byte: u8, // 1-byte alignment
} // Total size: 16 bytes (not 24)
\`\`\`
### 5.3. Avoid Unnecessary Packed Structs
**Description**: Only use \`#[repr(packed)]\` when memory size is crucial. Packed structs incur performance penalties due to unaligned memory access.
\`\`\`rust
// Avoid unless absolutely necessary for space constraints
#[repr(packed)]
struct PackedStruct {
byte: u8,
dword: u32, // Unaligned access - slower!
}
\`\`\`
### 5.4. Consider Cache Locality in Data Structures
**Description**: Group frequently accessed fields together. For computation on a subset of fields, consider structure-of-arrays (SoA) instead of array-of-structures (AoS) layout.
\`\`\`rust
// Array of structures (AoS) - Worse for operations on single fields
struct Particle {
position_x: f32,
position_y: f32,
position_z: f32,
velocity_x: f32,
velocity_y: f32,
velocity_z: f32,
}
let particles = Vec<Particle>::with_capacity(1000);
// Structure of arrays (SoA) - Better for operations on single fields
struct ParticleSystem {
position_x: Vec<f32>,
position_y: Vec<f32>,
position_z: Vec<f32>,
velocity_x: Vec<f32>,
velocity_y: Vec<f32>,
velocity_z: Vec<f32>,
}
\`\`\`
### 5.5. Leverage Non-Aliasing References
**Description**: Exploit Rust's borrowing rules to help the compiler optimize memory operations. The compiler knows that mutable references (\`&mut T\`) don't alias, enabling more aggressive optimization.
\`\`\`rust
// Splitting slices allows parallel optimization
fn process_halves(data: &mut [u32]) {
let mid = data.len() / 2;
let (left, right) = data.split_at_mut(mid);
// Compiler knows these don't alias, can optimize/parallelize
process_left(left);
process_right(right);
}
\`\`\`
### 5.6. Favor Sequential Memory Access
**Description**: Structure your computations to access memory linearly when possible, as this is optimal for CPU prefetchers and cache behavior.
\`\`\`rust
// Good: Sequential access (row-major for 2D array in Rust)
for row in 0..height {
for col in 0..width {
process(matrix[row][col]);
}
}
// Bad: Strided access
for col in 0..width {
for row in 0..height {
process(matrix[row][col]); // Cache-unfriendly
}
}
\`\`\`
## 6. Ownership and Borrowing
### 6.1. Pass Large Data by Reference
**Description**: Pass large structs or collections by reference to avoid unnecessary copying. Only move ownership when truly needed or when types are cheap to copy.
\`\`\`rust
// Preferred for large data
fn process_large(data: &[u8]) {
// Process without copying
}
// Acceptable for small types or when ownership transfer is needed
fn take_small(value: u32) {
// Small value copied efficiently (likely in registers)
}
\`\`\`
### 6.2. Avoid Unnecessary Clones
**Description**: Don't use \`.clone()\` to satisfy the borrow checker; instead, restructure code to use proper borrowing. Cloning complex data types has real runtime costs.
\`\`\`rust
// Avoid this pattern
fn process(data: Vec<u32>) {
// Process data
}
let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
process(v.clone()); // Unnecessary clone
process(v); // Original consumed here
// Better approach
fn process_ref(data: &[u32]) {
// Process data by reference
}
let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
process_ref(&v); // No clone needed
process_ref(&v); // Can use again
\`\`\`
### 6.3. Split Borrows for Parallel Optimization
**Description**: Use slice splitting or struct field borrowing to get non-aliasing mutable references, enabling parallel optimizations.
\`\`\`rust
// Enables parallel/vectorized processing
let (left, right) = data.split_at_mut(mid);
// Field borrowing enables independent mutation
let mut point = Point { x: 0, y: 0 };
let x = &mut point.x;
let y = &mut point.y;
// Compiler knows x and y don't alias, can optimize independently
\`\`\`
### 6.4. Leverage Lifetime Constraints
**Description**: Rust's lifetime system provides guarantees that objects outlive references, eliminating runtime checks for use-after-free and enabling compiler optimizations based on scope information.
\`\`\`rust
fn process_slice<'a>(data: &'a mut [u32]) -> &'a u32 {
// Compiler knows returned reference is valid for data's lifetime
// No runtime check needed
&data[0]
}
\`\`\`
## 7. Traits and Generics
### 7.1. Use Monomorphization for Hot Code
**Description**: Leverage Rust's generic system for zero-cost abstractions. Each concrete type gets its own specialized implementation with full optimization potential.
\`\`\`rust
// Gets specialized for each T, with full optimization
fn process<T: Processable>(item: T) {
item.process(); // Statically dispatched, can be inlined
}
\`\`\`
### 7.2. Reserve Dynamic Dispatch for Flexibility
**Description**: Use trait objects (\`dyn Trait\`) when the flexibility outweighs the performance cost or to reduce code bloat from excessive monomorphization.
\`\`\`rust
// Dynamic dispatch - use when flexibility matters more than performance
fn handle_event(handler: &dyn EventHandler) {
handler.on_event(); // Virtual call
}
\`\`\`
### 7.3. Balance Monomorphization and Code Size
**Description**: Excessive generic instantiations can lead to code bloat. Consider factoring out type-independent code into non-generic helpers.
\`\`\`rust
// Potential code bloat if used with many types
fn fully_generic<T: Display>(value: T) {
// Lots of complex code repeated for each T
}
// Better approach for large functions
fn generic_wrapper<T: Display>(value: T) {
let string = value.to_string(); // Convert to string once
non_generic_impl(&string); // Shared implementation
}
fn non_generic_impl(s: &str) {
// Complex implementation used by all types
}
\`\`\`
### 7.4. Prefer Concrete Types When Known
**Description**: When the type is known at compile time, prefer concrete types over trait objects to enable static dispatch and optimization.
\`\`\`rust
// Less optimal with known type
fn process_json(parser: &dyn Parser) {
parser.parse(); // Dynamic dispatch
}
// Better with known type
fn process_json(parser: &JsonParser) {
parser.parse(); // Static dispatch, can be inlined
}
\`\`\`
### 7.5. Consider Enums as Type-Safe Alternatives
**Description**: For a small, fixed set of types, an enum can provide type-safety with better performance than trait objects.
\`\`\`rust
// Using dynamic dispatch
fn process_shape(shape: &dyn Shape) {
shape.area(); // Virtual call
}
// Using an enum instead
enum ShapeEnum {
Circle(Circle),
Rectangle(Rectangle),
Triangle(Triangle),
}
impl ShapeEnum {
fn area(&self) -> f64 {
match self {
ShapeEnum::Circle(c) => c.area(), // Direct call
ShapeEnum::Rectangle(r) => r.area(), // Direct call
ShapeEnum::Triangle(t) => t.area(), // Direct call
}
}
}
\`\`\`
## 8. Heap vs. Stack Allocation
### 8.1. Prefer Stack for Reasonably Sized Data
**Description**: Use stack allocation for small to medium-sized data that doesn't need to outlive the function. Stack allocation is significantly faster than heap allocation.
\`\`\`rust
// Fast stack allocation
fn process() {
let buffer = [0u8; 4096]; // 4KB on stack
// Use buffer
}
\`\`\`
### 8.2. Reuse Heap Allocations
**Description**: When repeated heap allocations are required, reuse existing allocations instead of repeatedly allocating and freeing.
\`\`\`rust
// Bad: Repeated allocations
for _ in 0..1000 {
let vec = Vec::<u32>::with_capacity(100);
// Use vec, then drop
}
// Better: Reuse allocation
let mut vec = Vec::<u32>::with_capacity(100);
for _ in 0..1000 {
vec.clear(); // Keeps capacity
// Use vec
}
\`\`\`
### 8.3. Be Wary of Large Stack Allocations
**Description**: Very large stack allocations can cause stack overflow. Use the heap for large or dynamically-sized data.
\`\`\`rust
// Risky: Large stack allocation
fn risky() {
let huge_array = [0u8; 1_000_000]; // 1MB on stack - may overflow
}
// Better: Use heap for large data
fn safer() {
let huge_vec = vec![0u8; 1_000_000]; // 1MB on heap
}
\`\`\`
### 8.4. Consider Using Buffer Pools
**Description**: For frequent allocations of similar-sized objects, consider using object pools to amortize allocation costs.
\`\`\`rust
struct BufferPool {
buffers: Vec<Vec<u8>>,
}
impl BufferPool {
fn get_buffer(&mut self) -> &mut Vec<u8> {
if self.buffers.is_empty() {
self.buffers.push(Vec::with_capacity(4096));
}
let buffer = self.buffers.pop().unwrap();
buffer.clear();
// Return buffer to be used
&mut self.buffers[self.buffers.len() - 1]
}
fn return_buffer(&mut self, buffer: Vec<u8>) {
self.buffers.push(buffer);
}
}
\`\`\`
## 9. Pattern Matching
### 9.1. Prefer Match for Multi-Way Branching
**Description**: Use \`match\` for multi-way decisions on integers or enums. The compiler can generate efficient jump tables or decision trees.
\`\`\`rust
// Compiler may generate a jump table
match value {
0 => handle_zero(),
1 => handle_one(),
2 => handle_two(),
3..=10 => handle_small_range(),
_ => handle_default(),
}
\`\`\`
### 9.2. Separate Guards from Match Patterns
**Description**: Complex guards in \`match\` arms can prevent optimizations. Consider extracting the guard to the arm body when possible.
\`\`\`rust
// Less optimal - guard prevents jump table optimization
match value {
n if n > 0 && n < 10 => handle_small(n),
n if n >= 10 && n < 100 => handle_medium(n),
_ => handle_other(),
}
// More optimal
match value {
0..=9 => handle_small(value),
10..=99 => handle_medium(value),
_ => handle_other(),
}
\`\`\`
### 9.3. Leverage Match Exhaustiveness
**Description**: Rust's \`match\` exhaustiveness checking ensures all cases are handled, which can lead to more optimizable code since the compiler knows all possibilities are covered.
\`\`\`rust
enum Direction { North, South, East, West }
// Compiler knows this covers all cases
fn get_delta(dir: Direction) -> (i32, i32) {
match dir {
Direction::North => (0, -1),
Direction::South => (0, 1),
Direction::East => (1, 0),
Direction::West => (-1, 0),
}
// No need for default case - more optimizable
}
\`\`\`
### 9.4. Consider Match Arm Order
**Description**: While the compiler can reorder match arms for optimization, placing the most common cases first can sometimes aid readability and, in complex patterns, might help the optimizer.
\`\`\`rust
// Place common case first for readability
match http_status {
200 => handle_ok(), // Most common case
404 => handle_not_found(),
500..=599 => handle_server_error(),
_ => handle_other(),
}
\`\`\`
### 9.5. Use if-let for Single-Pattern Matches
**Description**: For checking a single pattern, \`if let\` is more concise and may compile to equivalent code as a full \`match\`.
\`\`\`rust
// For single pattern, if-let is cleaner
if let Some(value) = optional {
process(value);
}
// Instead of
match optional {
Some(value) => process(value),
None => {},
}
\`\`\`
## 10. Unsafe Code and Intrinsics
### 10.1. Eliminate Bounds Checks Only After Profiling
**Description**: Use \`get_unchecked\` or \`get_unchecked_mut\` to eliminate bounds checks only when profiling confirms they're a bottleneck, and you're certain index access is always valid.
\`\`\`rust
// Only after confirming bounds checks are a bottleneck
let sum = unsafe {
// SAFETY: Loop range ensures i+3 < data.len()
let mut sum = 0;
for i in (0..data.len()).step_by(4) {
sum += *data.get_unchecked(i);
}
sum
}
\`\`\`
### 10.2. Use SIMD Intrinsics for Vectorizable Operations
**Description**: Leverage architecture-specific SIMD instructions through \`std::arch\` when auto-vectorization fails to optimize a critical loop.
\`\`\`rust
use std::arch::x86_64::*;
// Only use when auto-vectorization falls short
unsafe fn sum_avx2(data: &[f32]) -> f32 {
let chunks = data.len() / 8;
let mut sum_vec = _mm256_setzero_ps();
for i in 0..chunks {
let ptr = data.as_ptr().add(i * 8);
let vals = _mm256_loadu_ps(ptr);
sum_vec = _mm256_add_ps(sum_vec, vals);
}
// Horizontal sum
// [implementation omitted for brevity]
}
\`\`\`
### 10.3. Isolate Unsafe Code in Well-Tested Modules
**Description**: Encapsulate unsafe code in small, thoroughly tested functions with safe interfaces to minimize risk while maintaining performance benefits.
\`\`\`rust
/// Safe wrapper around unsafe optimized implementation
pub fn fast_sum(data: &[u32]) -> u32 {
// Validate preconditions for safety
if data.is_empty() {
return 0;
}
// Call the unsafe implementation
unsafe { fast_sum_impl(data) }
}
/// Private unsafe implementation
unsafe fn fast_sum_impl(data: &[u32]) -> u32 {
// SAFETY: Parent function validates non-emptiness
// Optimized implementation...
}
\`\`\`
### 10.4. Use Memory Transmutation Carefully
**Description**: When reinterpreting memory is necessary for performance, use safe abstractions like \`std::slice::from_raw_parts\` with careful alignment and size checks.
\`\`\`rust
fn bytes_to_u32s(bytes: &[u8]) -> &[u32] {
assert!(bytes.len() % 4 == 0, "Byte slice length must be multiple of 4");
assert_eq!(bytes.as_ptr() as usize % 4, 0, "Byte slice must be 4-byte aligned");
unsafe {
std::slice::from_raw_parts(
bytes.as_ptr() as *const u32,
bytes.len() / 4
)
}
}
\`\`\`
### 10.5. Profile Before and After Using Unsafe
**Description**: Always benchmark before and after using unsafe optimizations to ensure they provide tangible benefits. Many safe Rust patterns compile to equally efficient code.
\`\`\`rust
// Before using unsafe, verify through benchmarking:
fn benchmark_comparison() {
let data = vec![1u32; 1_000_000];
// Benchmark safe version
let safe_start = Instant::now();
let safe_result = safe_sum(&data);
let safe_duration = safe_start.elapsed();
// Benchmark unsafe version
let unsafe_start = Instant::now();
let unsafe_result = unsafe_sum(&data);
let unsafe_duration = unsafe_start.elapsed();
assert_eq!(safe_result, unsafe_result, "Results must match");
println!("Safe: {:?}, Unsafe: {:?}", safe_duration, unsafe_duration);
// Only proceed with unsafe if substantially faster
}
\`\`\`
## 11. Compiler and Build Configuration
### 11.1. Use Appropriate Optimization Levels
**Description**: Always test performance with release builds. Consider different optimization levels based on needs - higher levels optimize more aggressively but may increase compile time.
\`\`\`bash
# Default release (good balance)
cargo build --release
# Optimize for speed, longer compile time
RUSTFLAGS="-C opt-level=3" cargo build --release
# Optimize for size
RUSTFLAGS="-C opt-level=s" cargo build --release
# Optimize for size with more aggressive optimization
RUSTFLAGS="-C opt-level=z" cargo build --release
\`\`\`
### 11.2. Enable Link-Time Optimization When Appropriate
**Description**: LTO enables optimization across crate boundaries and can improve performance, especially for heavily cross-crate code, at the cost of longer build times.
\`\`\`toml
# In Cargo.toml
[profile.release]
lto = true # Enable LTO
\`\`\`
### 11.3. Use Target-Specific CPU Features
**Description**: Enable CPU-specific features to allow the compiler to use specialized instructions available on the target architecture.
\`\`\`toml
# In Cargo.toml
[profile.release]
rustflags = ["-C", "target-cpu=native"] # Optimize for current CPU
\`\`\`
### 11.4. Consider Profile-Guided Optimization
**Description**: For maximum performance in critical applications, use PGO to optimize based on actual runtime behavior.
\`\`\`bash
# Step 1: Build instrumented binary
RUSTFLAGS="-Cprofile-generate=/tmp/pgo-data" cargo build --release
# Step 2: Run application to collect profile data
./target/release/myapp # Exercise typical workloads
# Step 3: Build optimized binary using collected data
RUSTFLAGS="-Cprofile-use=/tmp/pgo-data" cargo build --release
\`\`\`
### 11.5. Examine Generated Assembly for Critical Code
**Description**: For performance-critical sections, inspect the generated assembly to verify optimizations are working as expected.
\`\`\`bash
# Using cargo-asm to view assembly for a function
cargo asm --rust myapp::critical_function
\`\`\`
## 12. Testing and Benchmarking
### 12.1. Use Criterion for Reliable Benchmarks
**Description**: Employ Criterion.rs for statistically sound benchmarking rather than relying on simple timing measurements.
\`\`\`rust
use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion};
fn bench_function(c: &mut Criterion) {
c.bench_function("my_function", |b| {
b.iter(|| my_function(black_box(input_data)))
});
}
criterion_group!(benches, bench_function);
criterion_main!(benches);
\`\`\`
### 12.2. Benchmark Realistic Workloads
**Description**: Ensure benchmarks represent real-world usage patterns, including realistic data sizes and access patterns.
\`\`\`rust
fn bench_realistic(c: &mut Criterion) {
// Generate realistic test data
let data = generate_realistic_dataset();
c.bench_function("process_data", |b| {
b.iter(|| process_data(black_box(&data)))
});
}
\`\`\`
### 12.3. Establish Performance Regression Tests
**Description**: Set up automated performance regression testing to catch performance degradations early.
\`\`\`rust
// In your CI configuration, set up criterion with regression detection
// Example for GitHub Actions:
// - run: cargo criterion --output-format bencher | tee output.txt
// - run: ./scripts/check_regressions.sh output.txt
\`\`\`
### 12.4. Benchmark Multiple Approaches
**Description**: When optimizing, benchmark multiple implementation strategies to find the most efficient approach for your specific workload.
\`\`\`rust
fn compare_implementations(c: &mut Criterion) {
let data = prepare_test_data();
let mut group = c.benchmark_group("String Parsing");
group.bench_function("Implementation A", |b| {
b.iter(|| implementation_a(black_box(&data)))
});
group.bench_function("Implementation B", |b| {
b.iter(|| implementation_b(black_box(&data)))
});
group.finish();
}
