From 20462480aa6cb835d5c6842f8896e79ef8f36fc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simo Lin Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2025 10:55:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [SMG] perf: optimize tokenizer for reduced CPU and memory overhead - Use Arc in L0 cache for zero-copy cache hits - Use Arc<[TokenIdType]> in L1 cache for efficient token sharing - Replace clone() with std::mem::take() in stop.rs to avoid allocations - Use String::split_off() instead of drain().collect() for zero-copy buffer splitting - Add #[inline] hints to hot path methods in sequence.rs, stream.rs, and traits.rs - Pre-allocate vectors with known capacity in process_tokens() and step_batch() - Combine multiple windows() calls into single-pass scan in is_likely_sentencepiece() --- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/l0.rs | 41 ++++++++++++++++---- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/l1.rs | 21 +++++----- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/mod.rs | 31 ++++++++------- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/factory.rs | 26 ++++++++++--- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/sequence.rs | 8 ++++ sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/stop.rs | 22 ++++++----- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/stream.rs | 4 +- sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/traits.rs | 1 + 8 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff --git a/sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/l0.rs b/sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/l0.rs index 203ea5284e3a..7c55fe1b3a4f 100644 --- a/sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/l0.rs +++ b/sgl-model-gateway/src/tokenizer/cache/l0.rs @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ //!
