From 99abaad0461cb63aba1c49032c1c0ff6db7f7c42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daily Perf Improver Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 19:46:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix and optimize outer product implementation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit fixes a critical bug in the outer product implementation and adds significant SIMD optimizations. Changes: - Fixed broken nested loop that was repeating SIMD operations uselessly - Implemented proper SIMD-accelerated outer product computation - Added comprehensive unit tests for outer product functionality - Added benchmarks for outer product performance measurement - Optimized algorithm now correctly computes Result[i,j] = u[i] * v[j] Performance Impact: The previous implementation had a severe bug where the inner loop didn't use its iteration variable, causing the same SIMD operations to repeat cols times. The new implementation: - Properly broadcasts each u[i] element to a SIMD vector - Multiplies with v vector once per row (not cols times) - Provides both SIMD-accelerated and scalar fallback paths - Correctly handles tail elements when size is not SIMD-aligned Benchmark Results (optimized version, ShortRun): Size=10: 101.5 ns, 856 B allocated Size=100: 4.157 μs, 80 KB allocated Size=500: 942.3 μs, 2 MB allocated The old implementation was fundamentally broken and couldn't produce correct results, so no before/after comparison is meaningful. 🤖 Generated with Claude Code Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../FsMath.Benchmarks.fsproj | 1 + benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Matrix.fs | 25 +++++++ benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Program.fs | 3 +- src/FsMath/SpanMath.fs | 42 ++++++++---- tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj | 1 + tests/FsMath.Tests/MatrixOuterProductTests.fs | 66 +++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 125 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100644 benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Matrix.fs create mode 100644 tests/FsMath.Tests/MatrixOuterProductTests.fs diff --git a/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks.fsproj b/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks.fsproj index 6b13aa6..e32e1c0 100644 --- a/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks.fsproj +++ b/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks.fsproj @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ + diff --git a/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Matrix.fs b/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Matrix.fs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2afa4c0 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Matrix.fs @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +namespace FsMath.Benchmarks + +open System +open BenchmarkDotNet.Attributes +open FsMath + +[] +type MatrixBenchmarks() = + + let mutable vector1 = [||] + let mutable vector2 = [||] + + // Parameterize sizes for outer product + [] + member val Size = 0 with get, set + + [] + member this.Setup() = + vector1 <- Array.init this.Size (fun i -> float i) + vector2 <- Array.init this.Size (fun i -> float (i * 2)) + + [] + member _.OuterProduct() = + let result = Matrix.outerProduct vector1 vector2 + GC.KeepAlive(result) diff --git a/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Program.fs b/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Program.fs index d3c9b13..3c8a441 100644 --- a/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Program.fs +++ b/benchmarks/FsMath.Benchmarks/Program.fs @@ -5,8 +5,9 @@ open FsMath.Benchmarks [] let Main args = // Register multiple benchmark classes - let switcher = BenchmarkSwitcher [| + let switcher = BenchmarkSwitcher [| typeof + typeof |] switcher.Run args |> ignore 0 diff --git a/src/FsMath/SpanMath.fs b/src/FsMath/SpanMath.fs index 6c8c26e..42302a6 100644 --- a/src/FsMath/SpanMath.fs +++ b/src/FsMath/SpanMath.fs @@ -318,8 +318,9 @@ type SpanMath = // outer product ####### - + /// Computes the outer product of two spans. + /// Result[i,j] = u[i] * v[j] static member inline outerProduct<'T when 'T :> Numerics.INumber<'T> and 'T : struct @@ -335,19 +336,36 @@ type SpanMath = let cols = v.Length let data = Array.zeroCreate<'T> (rows * cols) - for i = 0 to rows - 1 do - let ui = u[i] - for j = 0 to cols - 1 do - let vSpan = v - let simdCols = Numerics.Vector<'T>.Count - let simdCount = cols / simdCols - let ceiling = simdCount * simdCols + if Numerics.Vector.IsHardwareAccelerated && cols >= Numerics.Vector<'T>.Count then + // SIMD-accelerated path + let simdWidth = Numerics.Vector<'T>.Count + let simdCount = cols / simdWidth + let scalarStart = simdCount * simdWidth + + // Cast v to SIMD vectors once + let vVec = MemoryMarshal.Cast<'T, Numerics.Vector<'T>>(v) - let vVec = MemoryMarshal.Cast<'T, Numerics.Vector<'T>>(v) + for i = 0 to rows - 1 do + let rowOffset = i * cols + let rowSpan = data.AsSpan(rowOffset, cols) + let rowVec = MemoryMarshal.Cast<'T, Numerics.Vector<'T>>(rowSpan) + // Broadcast u[i] to a SIMD vector + let uBroadcast = Numerics.Vector<'T>(u[i]) + + // Process SIMD chunks for k = 0 to simdCount - 1 do - let vi = Numerics.Vector<'T>(ui) - let res = vi * vVec[k] - res.CopyTo(MemoryMarshal.CreateSpan(&data.[i * cols + k * simdCols], simdCols)) + rowVec[k] <- uBroadcast * vVec[k] + + // Process scalar tail + for j = scalarStart to cols - 1 do + data[rowOffset + j] <- u[i] * v[j] + else + // Scalar fallback + for i = 0 to rows - 1 do + let ui = u[i] + let rowOffset = i * cols + for j = 0 to cols - 1 do + data[rowOffset + j] <- ui * v[j] (rows, cols, data) diff --git a/tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj b/tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj index 675d2e7..34a7eef 100644 --- a/tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj +++ b/tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ + diff --git a/tests/FsMath.Tests/MatrixOuterProductTests.fs b/tests/FsMath.Tests/MatrixOuterProductTests.fs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ee64a91 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/FsMath.Tests/MatrixOuterProductTests.fs @@ -0,0 +1,66 @@ +module MatrixOuterProductTests + +open Xunit +open FsMath + +[] +let ``Outer product produces correct dimensions`` () = + let u = [| 1.0;
