From aa94d929d5ce3e63f925321d1213fcdea43b4c6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: fishidaho Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 16:55:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Reduce over the minor axis without an nnz-sized temporary `_VCSBase._minor_sums` expanded the value-compressed layout back to one float64 per nonzero before reducing it: expanded = np.repeat(self.values.astype(np.float64), group_sizes) return np.bincount(self.indices, weights=expanded, minlength=self.n_minor) That `np.repeat` is scratch space for a reduction that never needs to keep it -- and it undoes, transiently, the exact compression the layout exists to provide. Any `sum(axis=...)` over the minor axis pays it, including the one `NormalizedViewBase.__init__` makes on every view construction. Replaces it with a parallel numba scatter (`_ops.minor_sums`) that walks the value groups directly. Group index ranges are disjoint, so threads take contiguous blocks of groups and accumulate into thread-local rows, summed at the end -- no write hazard, and nothing nnz-sized is ever allocated. The thread-local accumulators are the obvious way to reintroduce the same problem in a new shape (`nthreads * n_minor * 8` bytes), so the thread count is capped to keep that block under a fixed 64 MiB budget: a minor axis wide enough that even two accumulators would blow it runs serially instead. Measured on 1e6 nonzeros, peak allocation drops from 16.00 to 0.20 bytes per nonzero; on 4e7 nonzeros the reduction also runs 11x faster (0.139s -> 0.012s), since it moves far less memory and now uses every core. Also adds the direct `sum()` coverage the axis reductions never had -- both axes against a dense reference, the all-zero case, and a regression test asserting the call path allocates nothing nnz-sized.

Both take the same shape as the `_minor_sums` this branch was already fixing, and both were written the same way -- so the defect this PR exists to remove arrived in three new places at once: _minor_reduce np.repeat(values, group_sizes) then ufunc.at 16.07 B/nnz _minor_nnz np.bincount(int32 indices) promotes to intp 8.00 B/nnz Leaving those while fixing `sum` would make the PR incoherent, so they get the same treatment. `_ops.minor_extrema` computes the extremum over stored values and the per-index count in one parallel pass over the value groups; `_ops.minor_counts` does the count alone. Measured on 2e6 nonzeros, against the implementations they replace: max(axis=0) 32.01 MB -> 0.39 MB (81x) 15.3x faster min(axis=0) 32.01 MB -> 0.39 MB (81x) getnnz(axis=0) 16.00 MB -> 0.20 MB (81x) 8.7x faster Output is identical in every case, and matches a dense reference. #22's own tests for these methods pass unchanged -- the implicit-zero correction stays in `_minor_reduce` rather than moving into the kernel, so the semantics those tests pin are untouched. The accumulator budget now takes a per-element size, since the extrema kernel keeps an extremum *and* a count per slot: 64 MiB still bounds the block, it just buys fewer threads for a wider accumulator. Renames tests/test_reductions.py to test_reduction_memory.py -- #22 added test_reductions_and_arith.py for the semantics, and two files a letter apart covering different concerns is a trap. The docstring now says which is which. Not fixed here: `_select_minor` (new in #23) has the same nnz-sized temporary, at 15.07 B/nonzero. It's an indexing path rather than a reduction, so it's filed separately as ISSUE-30 instead of widening this PR.
