From 74241733f500462fd33e7dff88cf210573a99611 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 18:08:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20Bolt:=20Optimize=20ChecksumWrit?= =?UTF-8?q?er=20using=20buffered=20writes?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit By buffering small writes into a `bytearray`, we significantly reduce system call overhead and the frequency of `zlib.crc32` recalculations in `ChecksumWriter`. This results in a measurable speedup for index saving operations. Large chunks are sent directly to disk without intermediate allocation overhead.

Using `np.sqrt(np.einsum('ij,ij->i', arr, arr))` is significantly faster (~4x speedup on a laptop CPU for typical batch sizes). If `keepdims=True` behavior is needed, appending `[:, np.newaxis]` matches the original shape seamlessly. **Action:** Always prefer `np.sqrt(np.einsum('ij,ij->i', arr, arr))` over `np.linalg.norm(arr, axis=1)` when computing row-wise vector norms in NumPy to eliminate dispatch overhead and improve execution speed. +## 2024-07-18 - Batching small writes with bytearray in ChecksumWriter +**Learning:** In `ChecksumWriter`, frequent small file writes combined with `zlib.crc32` updates can introduce significant overhead.
