写一手漂亮的代码,走向极致的编程 一、代码运行时间分析
前言
写一手漂亮的代码,何谓漂亮的代码?对我来说大概有这么几点:
- 写法符合规范(如:该空格的地方打上空格,该换行的地方换行,名命方式符合规范等等)
- 简洁且可读性高(能十行代码实现并且让人容易看懂的绝不写十一行,对经常重复出现的代码段落进行封装)
- 性能高(如:运行时间尽可能短,运行时所用内存尽可能少)
要实现以上目标,自然就要对代码进行优化,说到代码的优化,自然而然就会想到对算法时间复杂度进行优化,比如我要实现一个在有序数组中查找一个数,最容易想到的就是遍历一遍 O(n) 的复杂度,优化一下自然是使用二分, O(logn) 的复杂度。如果这段代码在我们的程序中会经常被调用,那么,通过这算法上的优化,我们的程序性能自然而然的会有很高的提升。
但是,有时候会发现,已经对算法进行优化了,程序的性能(如运行时间、内存占用等)仍然不能达到预期,那么,这时候该如何对我们的代码进行进一步的优化呢?
这篇文章将以 Python 为例进行介绍
先来段代码
这里,我将通过使用 Julia 分形的代码来进行。
Julia 集合,由式 \(f_c(z) = z ^2 + c\) 进行反复迭代到。
对于固定的复数 c ,取某一 z 值,可以得到序列
\(z_0, f_c(z_0), f_c(f_c(z_0)), ...\)
这一序列可能发散于无穷大或处于某一范围之内并收敛于某一值,我们将使其不扩散的 z 值的集合称为朱利亚集合。
import time
import numpy as np
import imageio
import PIL
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import cv2 as cv
x1, x2, y1, y2 = -1.8, 1.8, -1.8, 1.8
c_real, c_imag = -0.62772, -0.42193
def calculate_z_serial_purepython(maxiter, zs, cs):
output = [0] * len(zs)
for i in range(len(zs)):
n = 0
z = zs[i]
c = cs[i]
while abs(z) < 2 and n < maxiter:
z = z * z + c
n += 1
output[i] = n
return output
def calc_pure_python(desired_width, max_itertions):
x_step = (float(x2 - x1)) / float(desired_width)
y_step = (float(y2 - y1)) / float(desired_width)
x, y = [], []
ycoord = y1
while ycoord < y2:
y.append(ycoord)
ycoord += y_step
xcoord = x1
while xcoord < x2:
x.append(xcoord)
xcoord += x_step
zs, cs = [], []
for ycoord in y:
for xcoord in x:
zs.append(complex(xcoord, ycoord))
cs.append(complex(c_real, c_imag))
print(f"Length of x: {len(x)}")
print(f"Total elements: {len(zs)}")
start_time = time.time()
output = calculate_z_serial_purepython(max_itertions, zs, cs)
end_time = time.time()
secs = end_time - start_time
print("calculate_z_serial_purepython took", secs, "seconds")
assert sum(output) == 33219980
# # show img
# output = np.array(output).reshape(desired_width, desired_width)
# plt.imshow(output, cmap='gray')
# plt.savefig("julia.png")
if __name__ == "__main__":
calc_pure_python(desired_width=1000, max_itertions=300)
这段代码运行完,可以得到图片
运行结果
Length of x: 1000
Total elements: 1000000
calculate_z_serial_purepython took 25.053941249847412 seconds
开始分析
这里,将通过各种方法来对这段代码的运行时间来进行分析
直接打印运行时间
在前面的代码中,我们可以看到有 start_time 和 end_time 两个变量,通过 print 两个变量的差值即可得到运行时间,但是,每次想要打印运行时间都得加那么几行代码就会很麻烦,此时我们可以通过使用修饰器来进行
from functools import wraps
def timefn(fn):
@wraps(fn)
def measure_time(*args, **kwargs):
start_time = time.time()
result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
end_time = time.time()
print("@timefn:" + fn.__name__ + " took " + str(end_time - start_time), " seconds")
return result
return measure_time
然后对 calculate_z_serial_purepython 函数进行测试
@timefn
def calculate_z_serial_purepython(maxiter, zs, cs):
...
运行后输出结果
Length of x: 1000
Total elements: 1000000
@timefn:calculate_z_serial_purepython took 26.64286208152771 seconds
calculate_z_serial_purepython took 26.64286208152771 seconds
另外,也可以在命令行中输入
python -m timeit -n 5 -r 5 -s "import code" "code.calc_pure_python(desired_width=1000, max_itertions=300)"
其中 -n 5
表示循环次数, -r 5
表示重复次数,timeit 会对语句循环执行 n 次,并计算平均值作为一个结果,重复 r 次选出最好的结果。
5 loops, best of 5: 24.9 sec per loop
UNIX tine 命令
由于电脑上没有 Linux 环境,于是使用 WSL 来进行
time -p python code.py
如果是 Linux 中进行,可能命令需改成
/usr/bin/time -p python code.py
输出结果
Length of x: 1000
Total elements: 1000000
@timefn:calculate_z_serial_purepython took 14.34933090209961 seconds
calculate_z_serial_purepython took 14.350624322891235 seconds
real 15.57
user 15.06
sys 0.40
其中 real 记录整体耗时, user 记录了 CPU 花在任务上的时间,sys 记录了内核函数耗费的时间
/usr/bin/time --verbose python code.py
输出,WSL 的 time 命令里面没有 --verbose 这个参数,只能到服务器里面试了,突然觉得我的笔记本跑的好慢。。。

cProfile 模块
cProfile 模块是标准库内建三个的分析工具之一,另外两个是 hotshot 和 profile。
python -m cProfile -s cumulative code.py
-s cumulative 表示对每个函数累计花费的时间进行排序
输出

可以看到,在代码的入口处总共花费了 30.381 秒,ncalls 为 1,表示只执行了 1 次,然后 calculate_z_serial_purepython 花费了 28.598 秒,可以推断出调用该函数使用了近 2 秒。另外可以看到,abs 函数被调用了 34219980 次。对列表项的 append 操作进行了 2002000 次(1000 * 1000 * 2 +1000 * 2 )。
接下来,我们进行更深入的分析。
python -m cProfile -o profile.stats code.py
先生成一个统计文件,然后在 python 中进行分析

>>> p = pstats.Stats("profile.stats")
>>> p.sort_stats("cumulative")

line_profiler 逐行分析
前面我们通过 cProfile 来对代码进行了整体的分析,当我们确定了耗时多的函数后,想对该函数进行进一步分析时,就可以使用 line_profiler 了。
先安装
pip install line_profiler
或
conda install line_profiler
在需要测试的函数前面加上修饰器 @profile,然后命令函输入
kernprof -l -v code.py
输出

34 1 12.0 12.0 0.0 return output
运行时间比较长。。不过,这里可以发现,耗时的操作主要都在 while 循环中,做判断的耗时最长,但是这里我们并不知道是 abs(z) < 2 还是 n < maxiter 更花时间。z 与 n 的更新也比较花时间,这是因为在每次循环时, Python 的动态查询机制都在工作。
那么,这里可以通过 timeit 来进行测试
In [1]: z = 0 + 0j
In [2]: %timeit abs(z) < 2
357 ns ± 21.1 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
In [3]: n = 1
In [4]: maxiter = 300
In [5]: %timeit n < maxiter
119 ns ± 6.91 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)
可以看到,n < maxiter 所需时间更短,并且每301次会有一次 False,而 abs(z) < 2 为 False 的次数我们并不好估计,占比约为前面图片中白色部分所占比例。因此,我们可以假设交换两条语句的顺序可以使得程序运行速度更快。

小节
从开始学习编程到现在差不多快 3 年了,之前可以说是从来没有利用这些工具来对代码性能进行过分析,最多也只是通过算法复杂度的分析来进行优化,接触了这些之后就感觉,需要学习的东西还有很多。在近期进行的华为软挑中,队友也曾对代码(C++)的运行时间进行过分析,如下图。
下篇将介绍对运行时内存的分析。
