Fully unroll the scan
in jnp.searchsorted
, when method 'scan_unrolled' is specified. On GPU, XLA's 'scan' (fori_loop) implementation launches multiple calls to the body_fun GPU kernel, whereas a fully unrolled scan can be fused into a single kernel launch.

injnp.searchsorted
, when method 'scan_unrolled' is specified. On GPU, XLA's 'scan' (fori_loop) implementation launches multiple calls to the body_fun GPU kernel, whereas a fully unrolled scan can be fused into a single kernel launch.Since we only require log-many steps, this is often quite practical, and can be a nice speedup. (from 4.5ms down to 1.5ms in my scenario.)
