From a671bbc681d1652f5ba8d8a98e08f9d692a8a381 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2026 03:55:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bfv: optimize dot_product_scalar by avoiding redundant iterator clones The `dot_product_scalar` function previously cloned and traversed the input iterators multiple times for validation and counting, which could be inefficient for complex iterators. This change collects the iterators into `Vec`s of references upfront, ensuring only a single pass over the input iterators and allowing efficient repeated access via slice iteration. Benchmarks show up to 10% performance improvement for large degree parameters (N=16384). While there is minor overhead for simple iterators due to allocation, this approach guarantees performance stability for arbitrary input iterators.

This caused O(N) traversal overhead even for elements that were not used (if one iterator was significantly longer than the other) and forced the iterators to support cheap cloning. This change: 1. Uses `izip!(ct, pt).collect::>()` to iterate both inputs simultaneously and stop at the length of the shorter one. This avoids traversing the tail of the longer iterator and prevents infinite loops if one iterator is infinite. 2. Collects only the paired references into a `Vec`, ensuring O(min(N, M)) memory usage (storing pointers) rather than O(max(N, M)) or O(N) element materialization. 3. Performs validation and computation on the collected pairs, ensuring single-pass behavior for the underlying iterators. This significantly improves robustness for mismatched iterator lengths and avoids redundant computation while maintaining correctness. Benchmarks show mixed results with some improvements in large-scale scenarios and minor regressions in small-scale scenarios due to allocation overhead, which is an acceptable trade-off for the algorithmic fix.
