feat: add gpu flag for CUDA event-based timing #1335

aseembits93 · 2026-02-03T22:30:27Z

Summary

Add a gpu parameter to inject_profiling_into_existing_test() and create_wrapper_function() for CUDA event-based timing
When gpu=True and torch is detected, uses torch.cuda.Event timing instead of time.perf_counter_ns() for measuring GPU kernel execution time exclusively
Falls back to CPU timing with device sync when CUDA is not available/initialized at runtime

Changes

Updated function signatures with gpu: bool = False parameter
Added _create_gpu_event_timing_precompute_statements() for runtime CUDA availability check
Added _create_gpu_timing_try_body() and _create_gpu_timing_except_body() for GPU event timing code generation
Refactored CPU timing into _create_cpu_timing_try_body() and _create_cpu_timing_except_body()
Added _create_timing_try_block() to orchestrate GPU vs CPU timing paths

Generated Code Structure (when gpu=True with torch)

        return_value = codeflash_wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
        _codeflash_end_event.record()
        torch.cuda.synchronize()
        codeflash_duration = int(_codeflash_start_event.elapsed_time(_codeflash_end_event) * 1000000)
    except Exception as e:
        torch.cuda.synchronize()
        codeflash_duration = 0
        exception = e
else:
    # CPU timing fallback with device sync

Test plan

All existing 29 framework tests pass (no regressions)
Added 5 new tests for GPU timing mode:
- test_torch_gpu_behavior_mode - GPU timing with torch in BEHAVIOR mode
- test_torch_gpu_performance_mode - GPU timing with torch in PERFORMANCE mode
- test_torch_aliased_gpu_behavior_mode - GPU timing with torch alias
- test_no_torch_gpu_flag_uses_cpu_timing - gpu=True without torch uses CPU timing
- test_gpu_false_with_torch_uses_device_sync - gpu=False with torch uses device sync

⚡️Codeflash found 16% (0.16x) speedup for _create_gpu_event_timing_precompute_statements in codeflash/code_utils/instrument_existing_tests.py

⏱️ Runtime : 261 microseconds → 225 microseconds (best of 108 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 16% runtime improvement by eliminating redundant AST object creation through strategic node reuse.

Key Optimizations:

Context Object Reuse: Pre-creates ast.Load() and ast.Store() context objects once instead of creating new instances for each AST node (6 times in the original). This reduces object allocation overhead.

Shared torch.cuda Attribute Node: The most impactful change is creating the torch.cuda attribute structure once and reusing it for both is_available() and is_initialized() calls. The original code duplicated this entire AST subtree:

ast.Attribute( value=ast.Name(id=torch_alias, ctx=ast.Load()), attr="cuda", ctx=ast.Load() )

This appeared twice, creating 6 redundant AST objects (2 Names, 2 inner Attributes, 2 Load contexts).

Why This Works:

In Python's AST module, nodes are simple data structures that don't need unique instances when they represent identical semantic content. By reusing the same torch_cuda_attr node in both function calls, we avoid:

Duplicate ast.Name object creation

Duplicate ast.Attribute wrapper creation

Multiple ast.Load() context instantiations

The line profiler data confirms this - the original code spent ~203ms creating duplicate torch.cuda attribute chains (lines with ast.Attribute and ast.Name for torch_alias), while the optimized version reduces this by pre-computing and reusing these structures.

Test Results:
The optimization performs consistently well across all test cases that generate AST statements (when torch is present), showing 11-25% improvements. Tests without torch (returning empty lists) show minor regressions of 2-12%, but these are negligible in absolute terms (nanoseconds) and represent edge cases where no meaningful work is done.

This optimization is particularly valuable when the function is called repeatedly during code instrumentation workflows, as the cumulative savings from reduced object allocation compound over many invocations.

⚡️Codeflash found 27% (0.27x) speedup for _create_gpu_timing_try_body in codeflash/code_utils/instrument_existing_tests.py

⏱️ Runtime : 14.1 milliseconds → 11.1 milliseconds (best of 86 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 27% runtime improvement (14.1ms → 11.1ms) by eliminating redundant AST node construction through strategic object reuse.

Key Optimization: AST Node Reuse

The original code repeatedly constructed identical AST nodes for common patterns like:

ast.Name(id=torch_alias, ctx=ast.Load()) - created 6+ times

ast.Attribute(value=..., attr="cuda", ctx=ast.Load()) - created 4 times

ast.keyword(arg="enable_timing", value=ast.Constant(value=True)) - created twice

Event/record/synchronize attribute chains - repeatedly rebuilt

The optimized version pre-constructs these shared nodes once and reuses them:

torch_name_load = ast.Name(id=torch_alias, ctx=ast.Load()) # Reused 6+ times cuda_attr = ast.Attribute(value=torch_name_load, attr="cuda", ctx=ast.Load()) # Reused 4 times event_call = ast.Call(...) # Reused for both start and end events

Why This Works

Python's AST construction involves object allocation, attribute setting, and reference management. By creating common subtrees once and reusing references:

Fewer object allocations: Reduces memory allocator overhead (visible in line profiler - setup lines now take 3-4% each vs scattered 2-3% throughout original)

Better cache locality: Reused nodes stay hot in CPU cache

Reduced attribute access overhead: No repeated construction of nested Attribute chains

Test Results Analysis

The optimization shows consistent 18-30% speedups across all test cases:

Simple single calls: 19-20μs → 15-16μs (~23% faster)

Parametrized tests with multiple aliases: 118μs → 97.4μs (21.5% faster)

Large-scale tests (200-500 iterations): 1.5-8ms → 1.2-6.3ms (27-28% faster)

The speedup is particularly effective for:

High-frequency calls: The large-scale test with 500 iterations shows 27.6% improvement, demonstrating that reuse benefits accumulate

Any alias length: Both short ("t") and long aliases benefit equally since the reuse pattern is alias-agnostic

No Behavioral Changes

The optimization preserves exact AST structure - both versions generate identical node types, attributes, and relationships. This is confirmed by all 100+ regression tests passing with improved runtimes.

⚡️Codeflash found 12% (0.12x) speedup for _create_gpu_timing_except_body in codeflash/code_utils/instrument_existing_tests.py

⏱️ Runtime : 12.0 milliseconds → 10.7 milliseconds (best of 50 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves an 11% runtime improvement (from 12.0ms to 10.7ms) by reducing object allocations through context object reuse.

Key Optimization:
Instead of creating new ast.Load() and ast.Store() context objects multiple times throughout the function, the optimization creates them once at the beginning and reuses them:

load_ctx = ast.Load() store_ctx = ast.Store()

Why This Works:
In Python's AST module, context objects (ast.Load(), ast.Store()) are simple marker objects that indicate whether a variable is being read from or written to. The original code called ast.Load() 5 times and ast.Store() 3 times per function invocation. Each call creates a new object instance, which involves:

Memory allocation

Object initialization

Reference counting overhead

By creating these context objects once and reusing them, the optimized version eliminates 6 redundant object allocations per call (4 extra ast.Load() calls and 2 extra ast.Store() calls).

Performance Impact:
The line profiler data confirms the improvement:

Lines creating nested ast.Attribute calls show reduced time (e.g., 5.14ms → 4.12ms on the main attribute creation)

The two assignment statements show faster execution (5.45ms → 5.06ms and 4.66ms → 3.84ms)

Test Results:
The annotated tests show consistent small improvements across all test cases (typically 1-6% per test), with the large-scale test (test_large_scale_multiple_aliases_compilation) showing a notable 3.40% speedup when generating 200 AST fragments. This demonstrates the optimization compounds well when the function is called repeatedly.

Trade-offs:
The optimization adds two extra variable assignments at the start, but these are negligible compared to the savings from avoiding repeated object creation. All tests pass with equivalent or better performance, confirming correctness is maintained.

PR Review Summary

Pre-commit Status

✅ All pre-commit checks passed (ruff check, ruff format)

Test Results

✅ All 36 tests in test_inject_profiling_used_frameworks.py passed
✅ 5 new GPU timing tests added with comprehensive coverage

Code Review

This PR successfully implements GPU event-based timing for CUDA workloads. The implementation is clean and well-tested.

Key Changes:

Added gpu: bool = False parameter to inject_profiling_into_existing_test() and create_wrapper_function()
GPU timing uses torch.cuda.Event for accurate kernel execution measurement
Proper fallback to CPU timing when CUDA is unavailable
Handles torch import aliases correctly

Architecture:

New helper functions cleanly separate GPU vs CPU timing logic
Runtime CUDA availability check prevents errors in non-GPU environments
Exception handling ensures synchronization happens even on failures

Test Coverage

Main Changed File

codeflash/code_utils/instrument_existing_tests.py: 91% coverage (444 statements, 41 missing)

The 91% coverage is strong. Missing lines (927, 1806-1813, etc.) are edge cases and error paths that are harder to trigger in unit tests. The core GPU timing functionality added in this PR (lines 913-1300+) is well-covered by the 5 new tests.

New Test Coverage:

✅ GPU timing with torch (behavior mode)
✅ GPU timing with torch (performance mode)
✅ GPU timing with aliased torch import
✅ Fallback when gpu=True but no torch available
✅ CPU timing when gpu=False with torch present
✅ Torch submodule imports
✅ Torch dotted imports

Overall Project Coverage

Overall: 79% (consistent with baseline)

No coverage regressions detected. The new GPU timing feature is well-tested.

Minor Observations

Version file change: version.py shows a dev version string - this is expected and will be handled by the build system
Unrelated test failures: 8 failures in test_tracer.py (tracer initialization, timeout validation, etc.) - these are pre-existing and unrelated to this PR's changes

Recommendation

✅ APPROVED - This PR is ready to merge. The implementation is solid, tests are comprehensive, and coverage is strong for the new functionality.

Add a `gpu` parameter to instrument tests with torch.cuda.Event timing instead of time.perf_counter_ns() for measuring GPU kernel execution time. Falls back to CPU timing when CUDA is not available/initialized. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

claude · 2026-02-04T06:05:25Z

Code Review Summary

✅ Pre-commit checks: All linting and formatting checks passed

✅ Code quality: No critical issues found

The implementation looks solid:

Clean separation of GPU and CPU timing logic into dedicated helper functions
Proper error handling with synchronization in exception handlers
Comprehensive test coverage with 7 GPU-specific test cases
Backwards compatible with existing code (gpu=False by default)

Test Coverage Analysis

Branch	Statements	Covered	Coverage %
main	423	383	91%
PR	444	403	91%
Difference	+21	+20	+0.2%

Analysis

✅ Excellent coverage maintenance: Despite adding 21 new statements (GPU timing logic), coverage remains at 91% with only 1 additional uncovered line.

✅ New code is well-tested: 20 out of 21 new statements are covered by tests (95% coverage of new code)

✅ Comprehensive test suite: 7 new test cases cover:

GPU timing in BEHAVIOR mode (test_torch_gpu_behavior_mode)
GPU timing in PERFORMANCE mode (test_torch_gpu_performance_mode)
GPU timing with torch alias (test_torch_aliased_gpu_behavior_mode)
Fallback to CPU timing when torch unavailable (test_no_torch_gpu_flag_uses_cpu_timing)
Device sync when gpu=False (test_gpu_false_with_torch_uses_device_sync)
Submodule imports (test_torch_submodule_import_gpu_mode)
Dotted imports (test_torch_dotted_import_gpu_mode)

Conclusion

The PR maintains excellent test coverage standards while adding significant new functionality. The new GPU timing feature is well-tested with multiple edge cases covered.

🎉 Ready to merge from a testing and coverage perspective.

Note: 8 pre-existing test failures in test_tracer.py are unrelated to this PR
