⚡️ Speed up method NoiseOutput.build by 12%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for NoiseOutput.build in invokeai/app/invocations/noise.py

⏱️ Runtime : 627 microseconds → 562 microseconds (best of 114 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces latents.size() calls with latents.shape attribute access and caches the shape in a variable to avoid repeated indexing operations.

Key changes:

• Replaced latents.size()[3] and latents.size()[2] with shape[3] and shape[2]
• Added shape = latents.shape to cache the tensor dimensions

Why this is faster:

1. Method call elimination: latents.shape is a direct attribute access, while latents.size() is a method call that has function call overhead in Python
2. Single shape computation: The tensor shape is computed once and reused, rather than calling latents.size() twice
3. Reduced indexing operations: From the line profiler, dimension access time dropped significantly - width calculation went from 208.6μs to 72.3μs (65% faster) and height from 110μs to 51.4μs (53% faster)

Performance impact:
The optimization delivers an 11% speedup (627μs → 562μs) and shows consistent improvements across all test cases (5-17% faster per test). This is particularly valuable since the function appears to be called frequently during noise generation workflows in the InvokeAI inference pipeline. Even small per-call improvements compound when the function is invoked hundreds of times during image generation.

Test case benefits:
The optimization performs well across all tensor sizes, with particularly strong gains on smaller tensors (up to 17% faster on minimal shapes) where the relative overhead of method calls is highest.
