⚡️ Speed up function to_corners by 48%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 48% (0.48x) speedup for to_corners in inference/models/owlv2/owlv2.py

⏱️ Runtime : 13.3 milliseconds → 8.95 milliseconds (best of 114 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 48% speedup by making two key changes to reduce computational overhead:

1. Replace division with multiplication: Changed w / 2 and h / 2 to w.mul(0.5) and h.mul(0.5). In PyTorch, multiplication operations are generally faster than division operations due to lower computational complexity.

2. Eliminate redundant calculations: Instead of computing w / 2 and h / 2 four times (twice each for x1/x2 and y1/y2), the optimized version calculates half_w and half_h once and reuses them. This reduces the total arithmetic operations from 8 to 6.

Why this works well: The test results show consistent 9-25% improvements across all tensor sizes and data types. The optimization is particularly effective for:

• Large tensors (56.9% speedup on 500K boxes) where the reduced operations compound significantly
• Edge cases with extreme values where division can be more expensive
• Batch processing scenarios (22-24% improvements) which are common in ML inference pipelines

The optimizations maintain identical numerical results while reducing both computation time and memory allocation overhead, making this especially beneficial for computer vision applications that process many bounding boxes.
