⚡️ Speed up method _Sum.__call__ by 9%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 9% (0.09x) speedup for _Sum.__call__ in src/titiler/core/titiler/core/algorithm/math.py

⏱️ Runtime : 509 microseconds → 469 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization replaces numpy.ma.sum(img.array, axis=0, keepdims=True) with img.array.sum(axis=0, keepdims=True), achieving an 8% speedup by eliminating function call overhead.

Key optimization:

• Direct method call: Using arr.sum() directly on the array object instead of the generic numpy.ma.sum() function removes an extra layer of function dispatch and argument processing
• Preserved functionality: Both numpy.ndarray and numpy.ma.MaskedArray objects have a .sum() method that handles masked values correctly, so the behavior remains identical

Why this works:
The line profiler shows the computation time dropped from 2.57ms to 1.91ms (25% reduction in the core operation). numpy.ma.sum() has to:

1. Validate input arguments
2. Dispatch to the appropriate implementation
3. Handle generic array types

In contrast, arr.sum() directly calls the optimized method on the specific array type, bypassing this overhead.

Performance characteristics:
The test results show consistent 8-15% improvements across various scenarios:

• Simple arrays: 10-15% faster
• Masked arrays: 8-12% faster
• Large arrays: 5-10% faster (overhead becomes less significant with more computation)

This optimization is particularly beneficial for image processing pipelines where the _Sum algorithm may be called frequently on moderate-sized arrays, as the function call overhead reduction provides meaningful cumulative savings.
