Before this patch
sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),2) The slowest run took 5.08 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached 10000 loops, best of 3: 39.4 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),3) 10000 loops, best of 3: 38.1 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),3) 10000 loops, best of 3: 32.8 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),2) The slowest run took 14.52 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached 1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.12 µs per loop
After
sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),3) The slowest run took 37.28 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached 10000 loops, best of 3: 48.8 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),2) The slowest run took 8.69 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached 100000 loops, best of 3: 5.43 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),3) 10000 loops, best of 3: 48.4 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),2) The slowest run took 8.80 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached 100000 loops, best of 3: 5.34 µs per loop
I've repeated (differently) it due to the caching-warnings. Before
sage: timeit('log(QQ(8),3)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 191 µs per loop sage: timeit('log(QQ(8),2)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 150 µs per loop sage: timeit('log(ZZ(8),3)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 125 µs per loop sage: timeit('log(ZZ(8),2)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 24.1 µs per loop
After
sage: timeit('log(QQ(8),3)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 1.93 ms per loop sage: timeit('log(QQ(8),2)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 45.1 µs per loop sage: timeit('log(ZZ(8),3)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 158 µs per loop sage: timeit('log(ZZ(8),2)', number=1, repeat=1) 1 loops, best of 1: 45.1 µs per loop
In particular log(QQ(8),3)
becomes much slower (and only log(QQ(8),2)
gains speed).
comment:7 Changed 6 years ago by
sage: log(QQ(8),2).parent() Integer Ring
which is a different behavior compared to the common/similar arithmetic operations (e.g. (QQ(2)^ZZ(1)).parent()
is Rational Field
and not Integer Ring
) and I would expect that the logarithm of a rational is again a rational (if possible) or something where QQ coerces into (but not out of something which coerces into QQ).

Replying to rws:
Is this a one-time comment, or do you plan to review to the end?
Does this make a difference on how to react to my comment? ;) ....or more seriously: I am not sure if I feel qualified enough to review a change in the log
-function. I just saw the discussion on sage-devel and looked into the ticket and decided to give some comments.

comment:11 Changed 5 years ago by

The code at hand unconditionally tries to coerce the arguments into ZZ,QQ instead of checking the type first. Apart from the speed issue it also would benefit from moving completely into GiNaC: atm some cases are intercepted unnecessarily in Function_log.__call__
which itself awkwardly calls Pynac.
comment:12 Changed 5 years ago by
I guess some of the speed regression is due to the at least partially redundant checking whether arg == base**v
, and of course now in addition computing the valuation first in case the latter does not hold. (At least it seemed to when I looked at it yesterday...)
Not sure how much the probably superfluous coercion contributes.

Timings with this branch. Before:
sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),2) The slowest run took 10.96 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 10000 loops, best of 3: 40.1 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),2) 10000 loops, best of 3: 40.2 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),3) 10000 loops, best of 3: 40.5 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),3) 10000 loops, best of 3: 34.4 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),2) The slowest run took 19.11 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 1000000 loops, best of 3: 886 ns per loop
After:
sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),2) The slowest run took 15.53 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 10000 loops, best of 3: 26.7 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(QQ(8),3) The slowest run took 10.80 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 10000 loops, best of 3: 26.8 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),3) 10000 loops, best of 3: 30.2 µs per loop sage: %timeit log(ZZ(8),2) The slowest run took 17.37 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached. 1000000 loops, best of 3: 686 ns per loop
The single run measurements vary so much from run to run that I refrain from giving them here. The After values of timeit('log(QQ(8),3)', number=1, repeat=1)
are however in the same range as the Before values (as well as the others).
