Superlinear scaling in SamplerV2 overhead

Open nonhermitian opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

The total job time increases superlinearly, even if the actual runtime usage does not increase as much. For example, here is a plot of the reported total job execution time as the number of circuits increases, along with the reported runtime usage, and circuit duration according to scheduled circuits.

superlinear

The increasing gap between cyan and purple is the amount of time that the SamplerV2 spends doing "stuff" other than running circuits.

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior Runtime should not be increasingly inefficient as the problem size grows

Suggested solutions This is likely an internal implementation issue.
