Example of Connecting KScaNN to Milvus

The KScaNN algorithm can connect to the Milvus database (version 2.4.5) to accelerate the query efficiency while ensuring a high recall rate.

KScaNN optimizes the open source ScaNN algorithm by using dynamic library inline, low-bit quantization, retrieval operators, and vector instructions, further improving the retrieval capability. The procedure is as follows:

1. Install Milvus.

   For details, see the Milvus Database Installation Guide.

2. Apply the patch file into Milvus for full compilation.

   For details, see the Milvus Database KScaNN Optimization Feature Guide.

3. Use ann-benchmarks for the test.

   Perform the test by following instructions in the Milvus Database ANN-Benchmarks Test Guide.
