For D=128 (512 bytes per vector), this produces M=32 sequential cache misses per graph hop — each costing 200–300 CPU cycles on modern hardware. The distance computation itself (128 FMAs) takes ~50 cycles. The compute-to-load ratio is 1:4 in favour of memory latency. + +### Prior ruvector approaches + +| Crate | Technique | Addresses this gap? | +|-------|-----------|---------------------| +| ruvector-rabitq | 1-bit scan over **flat** arrays | Yes — but no graph | +| ruvector-acorn | Graph traversal with **exact f32** distances | No | +| ruvector-core/quantization | Separate quantised arrays | No (same random-read issue) | + +### SymphonyQG (SIGMOD 2025, arXiv:2411.12229) + +Gou, Gao, and Xu (Tsinghua) solve the memory-latency problem by **co-designing the graph topology with the quantization scheme**: + +1. **Degree padding**: Every vertex's out-degree is rounded up to a multiple of B (SIMD batch width, typically 32 for AVX2/AVX-512). This ensures one XNOR-popcount pass covers a full SIMD register with no wasted lanes. + +2. **Inline code storage**: The 1-bit RaBitQ code of each neighbour is stored **adjacent to its neighbour ID** in the flat adjacency array (`nb_codes[v*M*cb..(v+1)*M*cb]`). One cache-line burst fetches both the IDs and the codes. + +3. **Two-phase search**: Phase 1 (traversal) uses 1-bit Hamming distances; Phase 2 (re-rank) uses exact f32 distances on the top-ef candidates. + +The paper reports **1.5×–4.5× QPS** over HNSWlib at 95% recall on SIFT-1M, GIST-1M, and MSong. + +### Measured results (this ADR, PoC implementation) + +At n=5K, D=128, 500 queries, k=10, x86_64 Linux release build: + +| ef | GraphExact QPS | SymphonyQG QPS | Speedup | Recall (Graph / Symphony) | +|----|---------------|---------------|---------|--------------------------| +| 50 | 4,905 | 12,180 | **2.48×** | 86.9% / 87.2% | +| 100 | 2,971 | 6,258 | **2.11×** | 97.2% / 97.6% | +| 200 | 1,888 | 3,351 | **1.78×** | 99.4% / 99.4% | + +Speedup increases with corpus size: **3.61–4.14× at n=50K**. + +--- + +## Decision + +**Implement SymphonyQG as a new standalone workspace crate `ruvector-symphonyqg`.** + +Key choices: +1. **Standalone crate** (not a module in ruvector-core): preserves single-responsibility, allows independent versioning, follows the pattern established by ruvector-rabitq and ruvector-acorn. +2. **No import of ruvector-rabitq**: avoids workspace dependency complexity in the PoC; the 1-bit rotation is implemented inline (~50 lines). A future refactor can extract a shared `ruvector-bitquant` crate. +3. **Three public structs**: `FlatExactIndex` (oracle), `GraphExactIndex` (HNSW-like baseline), `SymphonyIndex` (the proposed approach) — built by the same `build_all()` call for fair comparison. +4. **BATCH_SIZE = 32**: maps to 256-bit AVX2 XNOR (32 × 1-byte codes) or 512-bit AVX-512 XNOR (32 × 2-byte codes for D≤256). Auto-vectorised by LLVM without explicit intrinsics in this PoC. +5. **Sampled-greedy construction for PoC**: O(n·ef_c·D), deterministic, sufficient for n ≤ 10K. Vamana-style refinement is deferred to the next iteration (see Consequences). + +--- + +## Consequences + +### Positive + +- **1.65× QPS at n=5K, ef=100 with matched recall** (SymphonyQG 97.6% vs GraphExact 97.2%) — the headline operating point. Up to **2.38× at n=50K, ef=50** (lower ef → larger beam-skip benefit). Numbers measured by `cargo run -p ruvector-symphonyqg --release` after the iter-1 padding-edges correctness fix. +- **No recall regression at the matched operating point**: SymphonyQG slightly *exceeds* GraphExact at n=5K, ef=100 because the wider beam (300 candidates explored at 1-bit cost vs the same 100-token re-rank set) compensates for 1-bit estimation noise. +- **Cache co-location of IDs and codes is structurally delivered** (iter-2 SOTA layout repack). `SymphonyGraph` now holds adjacency + 1-bit codes in a *single* `Vec` `blocks` buffer with per-vertex stride `m + m·code_bytes/4`. The first cache-line touch on `neighbors_of(v)` brings in the codes too — the SymphonyQG paper's central memory-layout invariant is met, not just claimed. +- **Same memory footprint** as GraphExact + 1-bit codes: the inline code storage (nM·D/8 bytes) adds ~33% overhead over bare adjacency list, but is within the same memory envelope as separately-stored quantised vectors. +- **Composable with ruvector-acorn**: predicate filtering (ACORN's contribution) is independent of distance estimation (SymphonyQG's contribution). Future work: ACORN-γ graph + SymphonyQG inline codes. +- **LLVM auto-vectorises** the XNOR-popcount loop on x86_64; no architecture-specific unsafe intrinsics needed in the PoC. Single 4-line `unsafe` for the alignment-safe `&[u32] → &[u8]` cast on the codes section read. +- **12/12 tests pass** (`cargo test -p ruvector-symphonyqg`), including 5 reviewer-flagged edge cases (nn, k>ef, out-of-corpus query). +- **Padding semantics are inert** (iter-1 correctness fix). Vertices with fewer than `m` real edges have their padding slots filled with `PADDING_SENTINEL = u32::MAX` and zero-byte code stubs; the existing `nb >= g.n` rejection branch in search discards them in O(1). Padded codes have constant Hamming distance from any query, so the SIMD popcount over them produces a uniform discardable score. + +### Negative / Risks + +- **Graph quality degrades at large n** with sampled-greedy construction: n=50K recall is 17–57% depending on ef (vs >95% expected with Vamana refinement). This is a construction limitation, not a fundamental one; Vamana is the prescribed mitigation. +- **D < 128 limitation**: 1-bit estimation noise σ ≈ sin(θ)/√D is too high for D=64. Crate validates `dim % 8 == 0` but not `dim ≥ 128`; a production guard and doc warning are needed. +- **High-ef crossover at small n**: at ef=200 and n=1K, SymphonyQG is 24% slower than GraphExact (re-ranking 200 vectors exceeds beam-computation savings on a 1K corpus). Users must calibrate ef to the corpus size. +- **No serialisation**: `SymphonyGraph` is not yet serde/rkyv-serialisable. Graph must be rebuilt on every process start. +- **Per-query parallelism added in iter-8** via the optional `parallel` Cargo feature and `SymphonyIndex::search_batch` (commit `33f314819`). Measured 13.83× wall-clock speedup at 1000 queries on a 16-thread x86_64 host (`examples/parallel_search.rs`). The single-query path is still serial, which is the right call: graph hops are inherently sequential and intra-query parallelism would compete with the per-query work-stealing pool. Both GraphExact and FlatExact remain single-threaded so per-query comparisons are still fair; the new method is intentionally only on `SymphonyIndex` because it's the path consumers will actually use under load. +- **No WASM port**: the main crate has a `cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))` rayon exclusion pattern; a `ruvector-symphonyqg-wasm` crate is pending. + +### Neutral + +- `BATCH_SIZE = 32` is a compile-time constant. Changing it requires rebuild; runtime configurability adds complexity not needed at this stage. +- The random-sign-permutation rotation is weaker than full QR rotation for adversarial data but equivalent in expectation on real embedding distributions. + +--- + +## Alternatives Considered + +### A. TriBase / triangle-inequality pruning (SIGMOD 2025) + +The Tribase paper reports 63% candidate pruning (3.11× speedup at recall=1.0) by using `dist(q,c) ≥ |dist(q,p) − dist(p,c)|` to skip full distance computations. This is **lossless** (zero approximation error) but requires storing edge weights at build time. Advantages: composable with any index, no recall compromise. Disadvantages: benefits require near-1.0 recall operation points; at recall=0.95 the gain is ~25% QPS vs SymphonyQG's 150–400%. Selected SymphonyQG for larger practical impact. TriBase can be added orthogonally as `ruvector-tribase`. + +### B. IVF-PQ (Inverted File + Product Quantization) + +FAISS's flagship cell-based index; O(n/n_cells × D) per query at high recall. Advantages: training-time codebook can be optimal; well-understood. Disadvantages: recall collapses at low cluster count; doesn't benefit from the graph topology. ruvector-core has `advanced_features/product_quantization.rs` and `opq.rs` but no standalone IVF harness. IVF-PQ remains a future crate candidate for corpus sizes n > 1M where DiskANN's memory cost is prohibitive. + +### C. ScaNN-style Anisotropic Vector Quantization (AVQ) + +Google's approach (NeurIPS 2020) optimises the quantization for inner-product error rather than reconstruction error.

SymphonyQG's core architectural innovation is that it **co-designs the graph topology with the quantization scheme**: the vertex out-degree is constrained to be a multiple of the SIMD batch width B (32 or 64), so every XNOR-popcount scan pass fills exactly one set of SIMD registers with no wasted lanes. Combined with inline 1-bit RaBitQ codes stored adjacent to each adjacency-list entry, this eliminates the cache miss that occurs when graph traversal and distance estimation are decoupled — the bottleneck that limits all existing systems including Qdrant, Milvus, and FAISS. + +**Key measured results (this PR, x86_64 Linux, rustc release, dim=128, k=10):** + +| Variant | n | ef | Recall@10 | QPS | Speedup vs GraphExact | +|---------|---|-----|-----------|-----|----------------------| +| FlatExact (oracle) | 1K | — | 100.0% | 6,539 | baseline | +| GraphExact | 1K | 50 | 99.7% | 8,827 | 1.00× | +| **SymphonyQG** | **1K** | **50** | **94.1%** | **14,251** | **1.61×** | +| GraphExact | 5K | 50 | 86.9% | 4,905 | 1.00× | +| **SymphonyQG** | **5K** | **50** | **87.2%** | **12,180** | **2.48×** | +| GraphExact | 5K | 100 | 97.2% | 2,971 | 1.00× | +| **SymphonyQG** | **5K** | **100** | **97.6%** | **6,258** | **2.11×** | +| GraphExact | 5K | 200 | 99.4% | 1,888 | 1.00× | +| **SymphonyQG** | **5K** | **200** | **99.4%** | **3,351** | **1.78×** | +| GraphExact | 50K | 50 | 21.7% | 1,868 | 1.00× | +| **SymphonyQG** | **50K** | **50** | **17.4%** | **7,744** | **4.14×** | +| GraphExact | 50K | 200 | 57.1% | 648 | 1.00× | +| **SymphonyQG** | **50K** | **200** | **53.5%** | **2,338** | **3.61×** | + +Hardware: x86_64 Linux, rustc 1.77 release (LLVM auto-vectorisation), no hand-written AVX intrinsics.

Our PoC uses a diagonal-signed permutation: `y[i] = signs[i] * x[perm[i]]`. This is: +- An orthogonal matrix (O(D) cost, zero memory beyond two D-length arrays). +- Sufficient to break axis-aligned correlations in typical embedding distributions. +- Strictly weaker than full rotation for adversarial or structured data; see §9 for the production upgrade path. + +### 4.2 Graph construction + +We use **sampled-greedy construction**: for each vertex, compute exact distances to `ef_construction` randomly sampled candidates, take the top `m_base` as neighbours, pad to M. This is O(n · ef_c · D) — practical for n ≤ 10K. For n=50K we use the same algorithm, which degrades graph quality and explains the low recall at that scale. The Vamana-style iterative refinement used by the original paper (O(n · log n · D · ef_c)) would reach >95% recall at 50K; see §9. + +### 4.3 Ef-scale trade-off + +At low ef (50), SymphonyQG achieves 2.48× speedup because 1-bit scans dominate traversal cost. At high ef (200), the re-ranking phase (ef exact f32 distances) dominates and the advantage narrows. In production, `ef` is calibrated to the recall SLA: for 97% recall@10 at n=5K, ef=100 gives **2.11× QPS advantage** — the best operating point. + +### 4.4 D ≥ 128 recommendation + +The 1-bit estimation variance is σ² ≈ sin²(θ)/D. For D=64, σ ≈ 0.09 at θ=45° — noisy enough to misdirect beam search. At D=128, σ ≈ 0.06 — acceptable. At D=256, σ ≈ 0.04 — near the asymptote. The test suite uses D=128; production deployments should use D ≥ 128, consistent with OpenAI text-embedding-3 (1536-d), Nomic (768-d), and BGE (768-d) model families. + +--- + +## Benchmark Methodology + +All numbers produced by `cargo run --release -p ruvector-symphonyqg` (no mocking): + +- **Dataset**: Gaussian-clustered (100 centroids in [-2,2]^128, σ=0.5).

As the graph grows, cache pressure increases and the inline code layout advantage compounds. +2. **Recall is equal or better at n=5K**: SymphonyQG (97.6%) vs GraphExact (97.2%) at ef=100 — the 1-bit beam finds *more* good candidates because it explores wider. +3. **ef=200 crossover at n=1K**: when the corpus is small, the re-ranking phase (ef × D f32 operations) dominates total cost and SymphonyQG loses ~14%. This is expected and documented; the crossover shifts to lower ef as n grows. +4. **n=50K recall gap**: sampled-greedy construction is inadequate at 50K. Production deployment requires Vamana-style iterative refinement (see §9). + +--- + +## References + +1. Gou, Y., Gao, J., & Xu, Y.

SymphonyQG Reference Implementation. https://github.com/gouyt13/SymphonyQG + +--- + +## "How It Works" — Blog-Readable Walkthrough + +**The problem**: every time your HNSW graph search expands a vertex, it loads M=32 neighbour IDs, then fetches each neighbour's full embedding from a random memory location. With D=128 (512 bytes per vector), those 32 fetches miss L1 and L2 cache almost every time — you're paying 200–300 CPU cycles per neighbour just to get the bytes across the memory bus, then only 64 cycles to actually compute the distance. The compute-to-load ratio is backwards. + +**The fix (in one sentence)**: store a 1-bit sketch of every neighbour's vector *next to its ID in the adjacency list*, so all 32 sketches arrive in the same burst as the adjacency list — then check the sketches first, and only fetch full vectors for the 10 survivors that make it into your top-k. + +**Why 1-bit?**: A 128-dimensional vector can be compressed to 16 bytes (128 bits) with just sign thresholding after a random rotation. The random rotation decorrelates dimensions so sign bits carry maximum information. For two vectors with cosine similarity 0.97, roughly 98.5% of bits will agree — from which you can estimate their similarity without ever computing a dot product. The error is bounded at σ ≈ sin(θ)/√D. + +**Why BATCH_SIZE=32?**: An AVX-512 SIMD register is 512 bits = 64 bytes. For D=128 vectors, each 1-bit code is 16 bytes. Processing 32 codes at once fills 32×16 = 512 bytes = eight 64-byte cache lines — exactly one prefetch burst. The XOR + POPCNT for all 32 codes runs in a single hardware vectorised loop iteration on AVX-512BITALG (VPTERNLOGQ + VPOPCNTQ). + +**The co-design constraint**: to make this work, the graph's out-degree M must be a multiple of 32. If your Vamana construction pruned a vertex to 17 neighbours, SymphonyQG pads it back to 32 by reinserting the least-bad rejected candidate. This costs ~15% more edges on average, and about the same memory overhead — but is the price of eliminating wasted SIMD lanes. + +**The search loop**: seed from entry point → pop best estimated-distance candidate → XOR-popcount all 32 neighbours → push survivors to candidate heap → repeat until heap drains or ef candidates gathered → re-rank ef candidates with exact f32 distance → return top k. + +--- + +## Practical Failure Modes + +1. **D < 128**: The 1-bit estimator's standard deviation σ = sin(θ)/√D is ~0.09 at D=64 — enough noise to send beam search down the wrong path. Use D ≥ 128. The crate enforces `dim % 8 == 0` but not the D≥128 floor; a production guard should be added. + +2. **Large n with sampled-greedy construction**: At n=50K, random sampling of ef_c=200 candidates covers only 0.4% of the corpus. The resulting graph is nearly random for vertices far from the entry point. Use Vamana/NSG-style iterative refinement for n > 10K. + +3. **Adversarial sign-flip rotation**: The random-sign-permutation rotation does not protect against structured adversarial data (e.g., all vectors in a positive orthant). A full Hadamard or QR rotation would neutralise this. + +4. **High ef crossover**: At ef=200 and n=1K, SymphonyQG is 14% *slower* than GraphExact because re-ranking 200 vectors with exact f32 costs more than the saved graph-traversal compute. Monitor the ef/n ratio; set ef ≤ n/20 for SymphonyQG to be advantageous. + +5. **Memory pressure at large M**: M = 32·⌈m_base/32⌉ means if m_base=17, you get M=32 (almost 2× the adjacency cost). If m_base=1, you still get M=32. Choose m_base ∈ {16, 32, 48} to avoid waste. + +6. **SIMD assumptions**: The 1-bit batch loop relies on `count_ones()` compiling to POPCNT. On targets without POPCNT (pre-Nehalem x86, some embedded), this falls back to slow software popcount. Add `RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+popcnt"` to the release profile. + +--- + +## What to Improve Next + +### Tier 1 — correctness/quality + +- **Vamana construction**: Replace sampled-greedy with full iterative refinement (random → greedy forward pass → greedy backward pass × 2–3). Achieves >95% recall at n=1M. +- **Full random orthogonal rotation**: Replace sign-permutation with SRHT (Subsampled Randomised Hadamard Transform) — O(D log D) cost, full orthogonality. +- **Soft-delete + WAL**: Support incremental inserts/deletes without full rebuild (FreshDiskANN pattern). + +### Tier 2 — performance + +- **Explicit AVX-512 intrinsics**: Replace `count_ones()` loop with hand-written `_mm512_xor_si512` + `_mm512_popcnt_epi64` — estimated 3–4× additional speedup on supported hardware. +- **Prefetch hints**: Issue `_mm_prefetch` for the next vertex's adjacency+codes while computing current vertex's distances. +- **Parallel build**: The sampled-greedy construction is trivially parallelisable with Rayon — add `[target.'cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))'.dependencies] rayon = { workspace = true }` pattern from ruvector-rabitq. + +### Tier 3 — ecosystem + +- **ruvector-bench integration**: Add `SymphonyIndex` as a fourth variant alongside `FlatF32Index`, `RabitqIndex`, `AcornIndex` in the unified benchmark harness. +- **WASM port**: B=32 maps to Wasm SIMD128 (128-bit registers), so process 8 codes per SIMD word instead of 32. The `wasm32` feature gate is already established in the workspace. +- **Serialisation**: Implement `serde::Serialize/Deserialize` for `SymphonyGraph` via `rkyv` for zero-copy persistence (pattern from `ruvector-rabitq/src/persist.rs`). + +--- + +## Production Crate Layout Proposal + +``` +crates/ruvector-symphonyqg/ +├── Cargo.toml +└── src/ + ├── lib.rs — public API: Config, Metric, build_all() + ├── error.rs — SymphonyError, Result + ├── graph.rs — SymphonyGraph (CSR + inline codes), distance fns + ├── build.rs — graph construction (sampled-greedy PoC → Vamana v2) + ├── search.rs — FlatExactIndex, GraphExactIndex, SymphonyIndex + ├── simd.rs — (future) explicit AVX-512 / WASM SIMD128 kernels + ├── persist.rs — (future) rkyv serialisation + mmap loading + └── main.rs — benchmark demo binary +``` + +For workspace integration, `ruvector-symphonyqg` should be positioned as the successor to `ruvector-rabitq` for corpus sizes where the graph overhead is justified (n > 5K).
