From aa82abf37457c0c6dfe7a9ef2a89aefcc5c050a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristof Schroeder Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 15:31:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/24] Add accelerated demeaning with Irons-Tuck algorithm Implement fixest's Irons-Tuck-Grand acceleration algorithm for high-dimensional fixed effects demeaning in Rust. This is a coefficient-space iterative method that provides significant speedups over naive alternating projections. Key features: - Irons-Tuck acceleration with grand acceleration steps - Support for 2-FE and 3+ FE cases with optimized projectors - Algorithm aligned with R fixest implementation - Auto-vectorized loops (no explicit SIMD dependencies) Reference: https://github.com/lrberge/fixest (CCC_demean.cpp) --- .gitignore | 1 + benchmarks/bench_demean_r.R | 71 ++ benchmarks/bench_native_comparison.py | 216 +++++ benchmarks/demean_benchmark.py | 456 ++++++++++ docs/specs/demean_accelerated_optimization.md | 370 +++++++++ pyfixest/core/_core_impl.pyi | 7 + pyfixest/core/demean_accelerated.py | 73 ++ src/demean.rs | 27 +- src/demean_accelerated/coef_space.rs | 785 ++++++++++++++++++ src/demean_accelerated/mod.rs | 127 +++ src/lib.rs | 2 + 11 files changed, 2133 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 benchmarks/bench_demean_r.R create mode 100644 benchmarks/bench_native_comparison.py create mode 100644 benchmarks/demean_benchmark.py create mode 100644 docs/specs/demean_accelerated_optimization.md create mode 100644 pyfixest/core/demean_accelerated.py create mode 100644 src/demean_accelerated/coef_space.rs create mode 100644 src/demean_accelerated/mod.rs diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index f5378e980..899602ad4 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -42,3 +42,4 @@ coverage.xml # pixi environments .pixi/* !.pixi/config.toml +benchmarks/results/ diff --git a/benchmarks/bench_demean_r.R b/benchmarks/bench_demean_r.R new file mode 100644 index 000000000..fb9a55620 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmarks/bench_demean_r.R @@ -0,0 +1,71 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env Rscript +# Benchmark fixest demeaning directly in R +# Usage: Rscript bench_demean_r.R [n_obs] [dgp_type] [n_fe] + +library(fixest) + +args <- commandArgs(trailingOnly = TRUE) +n_obs <- if (length(args) >= 1) as.integer(args[1]) else 100000L +dgp_type <- if (length(args) >= 2) args[2] else "difficult" +n_fe <- if (length(args) >= 3) as.integer(args[3]) else 3L + +# Set single thread for fair comparison +setFixest_nthreads(1) + +# Generate data matching Python benchmark DGP +set.seed(42) +n_year <- 10L +n_indiv_per_firm <- 23L +n_indiv <- max(1L, round(n_obs / n_year)) +n_firm <- max(1L, round(n_indiv / n_indiv_per_firm)) + +indiv_id <- rep(1:n_indiv, each = n_year)[1:n_obs] +year <- rep(1:n_year, times = n_indiv)[1:n_obs] + +if (dgp_type == "simple") { + firm_id <- sample(1:n_firm, n_obs, replace = TRUE) +} else { + # difficult: sequential assignment + firm_id <- rep(1:n_firm, length.out = n_obs) +} + +# Generate outcome +x1 <- rnorm(n_obs) +firm_fe <- rnorm(n_firm)[firm_id] +unit_fe <- rnorm(n_indiv)[indiv_id] +year_fe <- rnorm(n_year)[year] +y <- x1 + firm_fe + unit_fe + year_fe + rnorm(n_obs) + +df <- data.frame( + y = y, + x1 = x1, + indiv_id = indiv_id, + year = year, + firm_id = firm_id +) + +# Build formula based on n_fe +if (n_fe == 2) { + fml <- y ~ 1 | indiv_id + year +} else { + fml <- y ~ 1 | indiv_id + year + firm_id +} + +# Warm up +invisible(feols(fml, data = df)) + +# Benchmark +n_runs <- 5L +times <- numeric(n_runs) + +for (i in 1:n_runs) { + start <- Sys.time() + fit <- feols(fml, data = df) + end <- Sys.time() + times[i] <- as.numeric(end -

Missing Parts (vs fixest) - -### 2.1 Grand Acceleration (Priority: HIGH) - -fixest implements a **two-tier acceleration scheme**: - -``` -Standard iterations: Apply Irons-Tuck every 3 iterations -Grand acceleration: Every `iter_grandAcc` iterations, apply Irons-Tuck - on a 3-point history (Y, GY, GGY) of coefficient vectors -``` - -The grand acceleration operates on a coarser timescale, accelerating convergence on slow-moving modes. This can significantly reduce iteration count for hard-to-converge problems. - -**Implementation sketch:** -```rust -struct GrandAccelerationState { - y: Vec, // First history point - gy: Vec, // Second history point - ggy: Vec, // Third history point - counter: usize, // Cycles 0-2 - interval: usize, // Apply every N iterations (default ~15) -} -``` - -### 2.2 Specialized 2-FE Path (Priority: MEDIUM) - -When `n_factors == 2`, fixest uses a specialized routine that: -- Stores second FE coefficients in a `nb_coef_Q[1]`-length buffer instead of `n_obs` -- Avoids materializing full N-length residual vectors -- Alternates between updating both effects without intermediate storage - -Current implementation always allocates `n_samples`-length buffers regardless of factor count. - -### 2.3 SSR-Based Convergence (Priority: MEDIUM) - -fixest checks residual sum-of-squares every 40 iterations: - -```cpp -ssr = Σ(input[i] - mu_current[i])² -if (stopping_crit(ssr_old, ssr, diffMax)) break; -``` - -This complements the element-wise convergence check and can detect convergence earlier in some cases. - -### 2.4 Coefficient-Based Iteration (Priority: LOW) - -fixest iterates on FE **coefficients** rather than demeaned **observations**: -- Coefficient vector length: `Σ n_groups[j]` (often << n_samples) -- More cache-friendly for problems with many observations but few groups -- Requires restructuring the core algorithm - ---- - -## 3. Potential Speedup Opportunities - -### 3.1 SIMD Vectorization (Priority: HIGH) - -Current inner loops rely on compiler autovectorization: - -```rust -// Current: relies on autovectorization -for i in 0..n { - self.buffers.delta_gx[i] = self.buffers.ggx_curr[i] - gx_tmp; - // ... -} -``` - -**Opportunity**: Use explicit SIMD via `std::simd` (nightly) or `wide` crate: - -```rust -use wide::f64x4; - -// Process 4 elements at a time -for chunk in buffers.chunks_exact_mut(4) { - let a = f64x4::from_slice(a_slice); - let b = f64x4::from_slice(b_slice); - (a - b).store(chunk); -} -``` - -Potential gains: -- **2-4x** for memory-bound operations (likely scenario) -- Requires careful handling of non-aligned tails - -### 3.2 Memory Layout Optimization (Priority: HIGH) - -Current: Separate `Vec` for each buffer (AoS pattern) - -```rust -struct AccelerationBuffers { - x_curr: Vec, - gx_curr: Vec, - ggx_curr: Vec, - // ... 6 separate allocations -} -``` - -**Opportunity**: Interleaved SoA layout for better cache locality: - -```rust -struct InterleavedBuffers { - // All data in single allocation, interleaved for spatial locality - data: Vec, // [x0, gx0, ggx0, x1, gx1, ggx1, ...] -} -``` - -Or single contiguous allocation with computed offsets: - -```rust -struct AccelerationBuffers { - data: Vec, // Single allocation: 6 * n_samples - n_samples: usize, -} -impl AccelerationBuffers { - fn x_curr(&mut self) -> &mut [f64] { &mut self.data[0..self.n_samples] } - // ... -} -``` - -### 3.3 Reduce Per-Column Allocations (Priority: HIGH) - -Current implementation allocates `MultiFactorDemeaner` per column: - -```rust -// src/demean_accelerated.rs:274 -let process_column = |(k, mut col): (...)| { - let demeaner = MultiFactorDemeaner::new(...); // Allocation per column! - let mut acceleration = IronTucksAcceleration::new(...); - // ... -}; -``` - -**Opportunity**: Pre-allocate demeaners and reuse via thread-local storage: - -```rust -use rayon::prelude::*; -use std::cell::RefCell; - -thread_local! { - static DEMEANER: RefCell> = RefCell::new(None); -} - -// Or use rayon's broadcast for pre-allocation -``` - -### 3.4 Convergence Check Optimization (Priority: MEDIUM) - -Current: Full pass over all elements every iteration: - -```rust -fn sad_converged(a: &[f64], b: &[f64], tol: f64) -> bool { - a.iter().zip(b).all(|(&x, &y)| (x - y).abs() < tol) -} -``` - -**Opportunity**: Early exit with SIMD max-reduction: - -```rust -fn sad_converged_simd(a: &[f64], b: &[f64], tol: f64) -> bool { - // SIMD: compute max |a-b| in chunks, early exit if any chunk exceeds tol - let tol_vec = f64x4::splat(tol); - for (a_chunk, b_chunk) in a.chunks_exact(4).zip(b.chunks_exact(4)) { - let diff = (f64x4::from_slice(a_chunk) - f64x4::from_slice(b_chunk)).abs(); - if diff.reduce_max() >= tol { - return false; - } - } - // Handle remainder... - true -} -``` - -### 3.5 Group Mean Computation (Priority: MEDIUM) - -Current scatter-gather pattern: - -```rust -// Scatter: accumulate weighted sums -input.iter().zip(&self.sample_weights).zip(&self.group_ids) - .for_each(|((&xi, &wi), &gid)| { - self.group_weighted_sums[gid] += wi * xi; // Random access - }); -``` - -**Opportunity**: -- Sort observations by group ID for sequential access (one-time cost) -- Use sparse matrix representation for very large groups -- Consider prefix sums for sorted data - -### 3.6 Use ndarray-linalg for BLAS (Priority: LOW) - -Add `ndarray-linalg` for optimized linear algebra: - -```toml -[dependencies] -ndarray-linalg = { version = "0.16", features = ["openblas-system"] } -``` - -Could accelerate matrix operations if algorithm is restructured. - ---- - -## 4.

Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2026 23:59:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 08/24] Remove old demean implementation, use accelerated version MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replace the simple alternating projections implementation with the accelerated Irons-Tuck algorithm as the sole Rust demean backend. Changes: - Remove src/demean.rs (old simple implementation) - Update demean.py to call _demean_accelerated_rs - Remove demean_accelerated.py (was only needed during development) - Update backends.py and demean_.py imports - Clean up tests to remove redundant fixtures The public Python API is unchanged - users calling demean() or using the "rust" backend get the accelerated implementation transparently. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 --- pyfixest/core/_core_impl.pyi | 7 - pyfixest/core/demean.py | 4 +- pyfixest/core/demean_accelerated.py | 79 ------- pyfixest/estimation/backends.py | 4 +- pyfixest/estimation/demean_.py | 4 +- src/demean.rs | 219 ------------------ .../accelerator.rs | 8 +- .../demeaner.rs | 6 +- src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/mod.rs | 6 +- .../projection.rs | 4 +- src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/types.rs | 0 src/lib.rs | 4 +- tests/test_demean.py | 23 +- 13 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 345 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 pyfixest/core/demean_accelerated.py delete mode 100644 src/demean.rs rename src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/accelerator.rs (98%) rename src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/demeaner.rs (98%) rename src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/mod.rs (98%) rename src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/projection.rs (98%) rename src/{demean_accelerated => demean}/types.rs (100%) diff --git a/pyfixest/core/_core_impl.pyi b/pyfixest/core/_core_impl.pyi index 8e4bed02d..6bb849ec5 100644 --- a/pyfixest/core/_core_impl.pyi +++ b/pyfixest/core/_core_impl.pyi @@ -20,11 +20,4 @@ def _count_fixef_fully_nested_all_rs( cluster_data: NDArray[np.uint64], fe_data: NDArray[np.uint64], ) -> tuple[np.ndarray, int]: ... -def _demean_accelerated_rs( - x: NDArray[np.float64], - flist: NDArray[np.uint64], - weights: NDArray[np.float64], - tol: float = 1e-08, - maxiter: int = 100_000, -) -> tuple[np.ndarray, bool]: ... def _detect_singletons_rs(ids: NDArray[np.uint32]) -> NDArray[np.bool_]: ... diff --git a/pyfixest/core/demean.py b/pyfixest/core/demean.py index 95cd97e88..8af8c8bbe 100644 --- a/pyfixest/core/demean.py +++ b/pyfixest/core/demean.py @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ def demean( x: NDArray[np.float64], flist: NDArray[np.uint64], weights: NDArray[np.float64], - tol: float = 1e-06, + tol: float = 1e-08, maxiter: int = 100_000, ) -> tuple[NDArray, bool]: """ @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ def demean( weights : numpy.ndarray Array of shape (n_samples,) specifying the weights. tol : float, optional - Tolerance criterion for convergence.

DemeanContext now has weights: Option - When None, uses group_counts for denominators (no per-obs multiplication) - _demean_rs binding takes weights=None by default Python changes: - demean() wrapper detects uniform weights (all equal) via np.allclose - Passes None to Rust when weights are uniform, enabling fast path - Public API unchanged (weights parameter still required) This saves memory (no per-obs weight storage) and computation (no weight multiplication in scatter operations) for unweighted regression.
