From 418ed3c05b873b1ea0d75a4da163e7d6daf178a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: policyengine-bot Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 14:58:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Optimize uprate_parameters by batching parameter lookups MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This change reduces the number of repeated function calls in the uprate_parameters function by: 1. Batching uprating parameter value lookups in the standard uprating path - Pre-compute all instants that need uprating - Batch lookup all uprating parameter values into a cache - Use cached values in the loop instead of repeated function calls 2. Batching get_at_instant calls in the cadence uprating path - Pre-compute all calculation dates - Batch lookup all uprating parameter values into a cache - Use cached values instead of repeated function calls These optimizations should significantly reduce the overhead from the ~1M parameter lookups identified in the profiling analysis, addressing the 46% of import time spent in uprate_parameters. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../operations/uprate_parameters.py | 86 +++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 52 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py b/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py index b09b2f5c..3acb2491 100644 --- a/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py +++ b/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py @@ -137,30 +137,36 @@ def uprate_parameters(root: ParameterNode) -> ParameterNode: # Pre-compute uprater values for all entries to avoid repeated lookups has_rounding = "rounding" in meta -

With ~914K calls still happening, the issue was that the dict comprehension ran inside the outer loop, once per parameter being uprated. This fix adds a global cache keyed by (parameter_name, instant) that persists across all parameters being uprated. This eliminates redundant lookups when multiple parameters share the same uprating parameter (e.g., CPI). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../operations/uprate_parameters.py | 46 +++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py b/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py index 3acb2491..e8d6f40f 100644 --- a/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py +++ b/policyengine_core/parameters/operations/uprate_parameters.py @@ -36,6 +36,10 @@ def uprate_parameters(root: ParameterNode) -> ParameterNode: if hasattr(bracket, allowed_key): descendants.append(getattr(bracket, allowed_key)) + # Global cache for uprating parameter values to avoid redundant lookups + # Key: (uprating_parameter.name, instant), Value: parameter value at that instant + uprating_cache = {} + for parameter in descendants: if isinstance(parameter, Parameter): if parameter.metadata.get("uprating") is not None: @@ -110,6 +114,7 @@ def uprate_parameters(root: ParameterNode) -> ParameterNode: uprating_first_date, uprating_last_date, meta, + uprating_cache, ) # Append uprated data to parameter values list @@ -127,7 +132,12 @@ def uprate_parameters(root: ParameterNode) -> ParameterNode: # Pre-compute values that don't change in the loop last_instant_str = str(last_instant) value_at_start = parameter(last_instant) - uprater_at_start = uprating_parameter(last_instant) + + # Use cache for uprating parameter lookup + cache_key = (uprating_parameter.name, last_instant) + if cache_key not in uprating_cache: + uprating_cache[cache_key] = uprating_parameter(last_instant) + uprater_at_start = uprating_cache[cache_key] if uprater_at_start is None: raise ValueError( @@ -144,11 +154,13 @@ def uprate_parameters(root: ParameterNode) -> ParameterNode: if entry_instant > last_instant: uprating_entries.append((entry_instant, entry.instant_str)) - # Batch lookup of uprating parameter values - uprater_values = { - entry_instant: uprating_parameter(entry_instant) - for entry_instant, _ in uprating_entries - } + # Batch lookup of uprating parameter values using global cache + uprater_values = {} + for entry_instant, _ in uprating_entries: + cache_key = (uprating_parameter.name, entry_instant) + if cache_key not in uprating_cache: + uprating_cache[cache_key] = uprating_parameter(entry_instant) + uprater_values[entry_instant] = uprating_cache[cache_key] # For each defined instant in the uprating parameter for entry_instant, entry_instant_str in uprating_entries: @@ -351,6 +363,7 @@ def uprate_by_cadence( first_date: datetime, last_date: datetime, meta: dict, + uprating_cache: dict, ) -> list[ParameterAtInstant]: # Determine the frequency module to utilize within rrule interval = "" @@ -388,25 +401,28 @@ def uprate_by_cadence( end_calc_date = enactment_date - enactment_end_offset calc_dates.append((enactment_date, start_calc_date, end_calc_date)) - # Batch lookup all uprating parameter values to reduce repeated function calls - uprater_cache = {} + # Batch lookup all uprating parameter values using global cache for _, start_calc_date, end_calc_date in calc_dates: start_instant = instant(start_calc_date.date()) end_instant = instant(end_calc_date.date()) - if start_instant not in uprater_cache: - uprater_cache[start_instant] = uprating_parameter.get_at_instant(start_instant) - if end_instant not in uprater_cache: - uprater_cache[end_instant] = uprating_parameter.get_at_instant(end_instant) + start_key = (uprating_parameter.name, start_instant) + end_key = (uprating_parameter.name, end_instant) + if start_key not in uprating_cache: + uprating_cache[start_key] = uprating_parameter.get_at_instant(start_instant) + if end_key not in uprating_cache: + uprating_cache[end_key] = uprating_parameter.get_at_instant(end_instant) has_rounding = "rounding" in meta # For each entry (corresponding to an enactment date) in the iteration list... for enactment_date, start_calc_date, end_calc_date in calc_dates: - # Get pre-computed uprater values + # Get pre-computed uprater values from global cache start_instant = instant(start_calc_date.date()) end_instant = instant(end_calc_date.date()) - start_val = uprater_cache[start_instant] - end_val = uprater_cache[end_instant] + start_key = (uprating_parameter.name, start_instant) + end_key = (uprating_parameter.name, end_instant) + start_val = uprating_cache[start_key] + end_val = uprating_cache[end_key] # Ensure that earliest date exists within uprater if not start_val: From 2527f74e3bd14c2677c7a24dec569e15f26c46d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: policyengine-bot Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 17:03:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Optimize parameter loading performance MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;
