AI & ML Infrastructure

Researchers are exploring cost-effective vector search solutions as RAM prices rise. The trade-offs between on-disk and in-memory Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) indexes, like HNSW, SPANN, and Disk ANN, are being analyzed to optimize infrastructure. Meanwhile, a novel approach to fluid simulation bypasses traditional fluid equations, utilizing the Lattice Boltzmann Method implemented in C++ to generate phenomena like the Kármán vortex street.
