Python, C, Assembly - 2’500x Faster Cosine Similarity
.
In this fourth article of the “Less Slow” series, I’m accelerating Unum’s open-source Vector Search primitives used by some great database and cloud providers to replace Meta’s FAISS and scale-up search in their products. This time, our focus is on the most frequent operation for these tasks - computing the the Cosine Similarity/Distance between two vectors. It’s so common, even doubling it’s performance can have a noticeable impact on applications economics.
