From d7f07f6524eb8a68db7c68455c3d1d0aaa48cc04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heng Ge Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 09:01:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf(mem_wal): match hnswlib throughput via runtime AVX-512 f32 distance The shipped binary targets target-cpu=haswell, so the autovectorized f32 L2/dot in lance-linalg only ever emit AVX2 even on AVX-512 CPUs, while a -march=native HNSW competitor uses AVX-512. Add runtime-dispatched l2_f32/dot_f32 (target_feature avx512f 16-wide kernels gated by SIMD_SUPPORT, AVX2 fallback via the existing autovectorized path) and route the in-memory MemWAL HNSW distance through them. Brings the MemWAL HNSW to parity with hnswlib on insert and search on AVX-512 hardware, with comparable recall and ~44% lower memory, keeping the AVX2 path for other CPUs.
