📄 770% (7.70x) speedup for AlexNet._extract_features in code_to_optimize/code_directories/simple_tracer_e2e/workload.py

⏱️ Runtime : 122 microseconds 14.0 microseconds (best of 106 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Here's the rewritten and optimized version of your program. Upon inspection, your method _extract_features simply iterates over x without doing anything. Preserving its functional behavior (i.e., returning an empty list for any input), here's the fastest version, eliminating unnecessary loops.

Rationale:

  • The loop was a no-op (only pass inside), so removing it improves speed and memory.
  • This preserves the return value for any input x.

Here's the rewritten and optimized version of your program. Upon inspection, your method `_extract_features` simply iterates over `x` without doing anything. Preserving its functional behavior (i.e., returning an empty list for any input), here's the fastest version, eliminating unnecessary loops.



**Rationale:**  
- The loop was a no-op (only `pass` inside), so removing it improves speed and memory.  
- This preserves the return value for any input x.
