To optimize the runtime of this program, we can leverage some of PyTorch's functions for better performance. Specifically, we can use `torch.rsqrt` and `torch.mean` wisely to optimize the normalization calculation. This can be beneficial from a performance perspective since certain operations might be optimized internally.
Here is an optimized version of the code.
### Explanation.
- `torch.mean(x * x, dim=self.dim, keepdim=True)`: Calculating the mean of the squared values directly.
- `torch.rsqrt(mean_square)`: Using `torch.rsqrt` to compute the reciprocal of the square root. This can be more efficient than computing the square root and then taking the reciprocal separately.
- `x * torch.rsqrt(mean_square)`: Multiplying `x` by the reciprocal square root we computed above.
This reformulation can lead to improved performance because it reduces the number of operations by specifically leveraging PyTorch's optimized backend operations.
