Accelerating Graph Indexing for ANNS on Modern CPUs

Summary: Graph-based ANNS indexing (e.g., HNSW) is CPU-bound by distance computations and random memory accesses; Flash is a compact coding strategy optimized for modern CPUs to boost SIMD and cache locality in graph indexing. It delivers 10.4x–22.9x faster index construction on 10M–1B vectors across eight datasets, with equal or improved search performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
