📄 189% (1.89x) speedup for MoeWNA16Config.override_quantization_method in python/sglang/srt/layers/quantization/moe_wna16.py

⏱️ Runtime : 60.4 milliseconds 20.9 milliseconds (best of 160 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 188% speedup by implementing strategic early exits and eliminating redundant expensive calls:

Key Optimizations:

  1. Early User Quant Check: The most critical optimization checks user_quant != "moe_wna16" first and returns None immediately. This eliminates the expensive is_moe_wna16_compatible call for ~66% of cases (2023/3032 calls), reducing execution from ~45μs to ~225ns per call.

  2. Eliminated Redundant Device Capability Calls: The original code called get_device_capability() for every compatibility check (~112μs per call in the profiler). The optimized version only calls it for AWQ methods that actually need device capability validation, avoiding this expensive operation for GPTQ and unsupported methods.

  3. Fast Path Static Method: Extracted compatibility logic into _fast_is_moe_wna16_compatible with optimized control flow:

    • Checks quant_method not in ("gptq", "awq") first to exit early for unsupported methods
    • For GPTQ, validates without any device capability calls
    • For AWQ, performs device capability check only when needed
  4. Reduced String Operations: Optimized string handling by checking for empty/None quant_method before calling .lower(), avoiding unnecessary string operations.

Performance Impact by Test Case:

  • GPTQ compatible cases: 4000-5000% faster (from ~70μs to ~1-2μs)
  • Unsupported methods: 5000-6000% faster (from ~65μs to ~1μs)
  • AWQ cases: Still require device capability checks, so smaller improvements (~30% slower to ~25% faster)
  • Early exit cases (wrong user_quant): Minimal overhead (~350ns vs ~355ns)

The optimization is particularly effective for validation-heavy workloads where most configurations are either unsupported or use GPTQ (which doesn't need device capability checks), making it ideal for configuration validation pipelines and batch processing scenarios.

The optimized code achieves a **188% speedup** by implementing strategic **early exits** and **eliminating redundant expensive calls**:

**Key Optimizations:**

   - Checks `quant_method not in ("gptq", "awq")` first to exit early for unsupported methods
   - For GPTQ, validates without any device capability calls
   - For AWQ, performs device capability check only when needed

4. **Reduced String Operations**: Optimized string handling by checking for empty/None `quant_method` before calling `.lower()`, avoiding unnecessary string operations.

**Performance Impact by Test Case:**
- **GPTQ compatible cases**: 4000-5000% faster (from ~70μs to ~1-2μs)
- **Unsupported methods**: 5000-6000% faster (from ~65μs to ~1μs) 
- **AWQ cases**: Still require device capability checks, so smaller improvements (~30% slower to ~25% faster)
- **Early exit cases** (wrong user_quant): Minimal overhead (~350ns vs ~355ns)

The optimization is particularly effective for validation-heavy workloads where most configurations are either unsupported or use GPTQ (which doesn't need device capability checks), making it ideal for configuration validation pipelines and batch processing scenarios.
