ML Inference Optimization

Preprocessing Acceleration

Model preprocessing (tokenisation, feature engineering, normalisation) is often pure Python and benefits greatly from compilation:

def preprocess(features):
    normalised = []
    for f in features:
        val = (f - mean) / std
        if val > 3.0:
            val = 3.0
        normalised.append(val)
    return normalised

Postprocessing

def postprocess(logits):
    probs = []
    total = sum(logits)
    for logit in logits:
        probs.append(logit / total)
    return probs

Batch Inference Orchestration

Pyvorin compiles the loop that batches and calls the model. The model inference itself (TensorFlow, PyTorch) runs in its optimised C++ runtime.

Limitations

  • GPU tensor operations are not compiled by Pyvorin.
  • Custom CUDA kernels remain untouched.
  • Focus on Python glue code around model calls.
