wkcn commented on issue #11913: Unexpectedly poor copy() performance URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/11913#issuecomment-409904550 @safrooze I modified the code then test it. Here is the code I modified. ``` a = nd.empty((1, 512, 120*120)) nd.waitall() start = time() for _ in range(2000): b = a.copy() nd.waitall() print('\tcopy: elapsed: {:.2f}'.format(time() - start)) start = time() for _ in range(2000): b = a + 0.0 nd.waitall() print('\tcopy via add: elapsed: {:.2f}'.format(time() - start)) ``` And I test the code you provided, the elapsed time of copy is almost invariable. But the elapsed copy via add is around 4. The reason that I changed the code is that the computation of NDArray is lazy. The script `b = a + 0.0` only records this operation but there is no actual computation until `nd.waitall` is called.
