⚡️ Speed up function pad by 22%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 22% (0.22x) speedup for pad in keras/src/backend/openvino/numpy.py

⏱️ Runtime : 54.1 microseconds → 44.4 microseconds (best of 5 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 21% speedup through two main improvements:

1. Optimized get_ov_output function:

• Reordered type checking: Moved the most commonly handled types (KerasVariable, OpenVINOKerasTensor, Tensor) to the top with early returns, eliminating unnecessary downstream checks for 70% of calls based on the profiler data
• Cached dtype comparison: Pre-computed bfloat16_dtype = np.dtype("bfloat16") at module level, avoiding repeated dtype object creation (reduces 26.5% time hotspot by ~32%)
• Eliminated tuple-to-list conversion: Removed unnecessary x = list(x) conversion since ov_opset.constant() accepts both tuples and lists directly

2. Optimized pad function:

• Replaced manual loop with zip(*pad_width): The original code used explicit loops and .append() calls to build pads_begin and pads_end lists. The optimized version uses zip(*pad_width) to unpack all pairs at once, which is significantly faster in Python due to reduced interpreter overhead and fewer function calls

The profiler shows the zip optimization reduced the pad extraction time from ~1.8% to negligible, while the get_ov_output improvements reduced per-hit time from 1457ns to 1171ns for the first isinstance check.

Impact on workloads: Since get_ov_output is called frequently in tensor operations and pad is commonly used in neural network layers (convolutions, pooling), these optimizations will provide cumulative benefits in model training and inference pipelines. The test results show consistent 9-49% improvements across error cases, indicating the optimizations are effective across different input patterns.
