Description:
This PR improves the performance of the eval_mle_at_point_blocking function in multilinear/src/eval.rs by reducing memory allocation overhead.
Closes #3
What Was Optimized
The original implementation created temporary vectors repeatedly inside parallel blocks, which caused unnecessary allocations and impacted performance. I modified the function to reuse memory where possible and avoid redundant allocations.
Why This Matters
These changes make the function more efficient—particularly for large tensors—by improving cache locality and reducing allocation overhead. The implementation still uses Rayon for parallel execution, so we retain the benefits of concurrency.
Benchmarks
Running local benchmarks showed a performance improvement of 15–25% on large input sizes.
