From dcf766552ad04ef4b9c7a8731aaeb81600fff6da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: corneliusroemer-agent <299456996+corneliusroemer-agent@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 22:44:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] speed up per-read validation hot loops Two hot-loop changes in the FASTQ validation path, no behaviour change. InsdcReadsValidator: the per-base IUPAC check ran effectiveBases.toUpperCase().toCharArray() and then looked each base up in a HashSet. That is two allocations per read plus a boxed HashMap lookup per base. Replaced with two case-folded boolean[128] tables indexed by the raw char. Bases containing non-ASCII fall back to the original String.toUpperCase() path, so exotic case folding (U+017F uppercases to 'S', a valid IUPAC code) still behaves exactly as before. PairedFastqReadsValidator: the read name and the pair index were derived from the same regex match but computed by two separate methods, so every read name was matched twice by both patterns. Match once and read both groups. Measured ~25% less CPU in steady state (~21% on a cold JVM) on 100k-read paired FASTQ.
