Cache locality is not enough: High-Performance Nearest Neighbor Search with Product Quantization Fast Scan

Summary: PQ Fast Scan replaces cache-resident PQ lookup tables with SIMD-register-sized tables, enabling in-register lookups and vectorized distance computation. It preserves PQ accuracy while reducing scan latency 4–6×, showing cache locality alone is insufficient. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
