About

From the project README ·

Rust wrappers for NGT, which provides high-speed approximate nearest neighbor searches against a large volume of data in high dimensional vector data space (several ten to several thousand dimensions). The vector data can be f32, u8, or f16.

This crate provides the following indexes:

  • NgtIndex: Graph and tree based index[^1]
  • QgIndex: Quantized graph based index[^2]
  • QbgIndex: Quantized blob graph based index

Both quantized indexes are available through the quantized Cargo feature. Note that they rely on BLAS and LAPACK which thus have to be installed locally. Furthermore, QgIndex performances can be improved by using the qg_optim Cargo feature.

The NgtIndex default implementation is an ANNG. It can be optimized[^3] or converted to an ONNG through the optim module.

By default ngt-rs will be built dynamically, which requires CMake to build NGT. This means that you'll have to make the build artifact libngt.so available to your final binary (see an example in the CI). However the static feature will build and link NGT statically. Note that OpenMP will also be linked statically. If the quantized feature is used, then BLAS and LAPACK libraries will also be linked statically.

Read the full README

NGT's shared memory and large dataset features are available through the Cargo features shared_mem and large_data respectively.

Order: strongest tier first, then most downloads, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days. ML Rust runs this catalogue, so its closest project always gets a row.

Why ListedNo archive, New or Featured rule places it, so it is Listed.

What it lacks for Featured

  • It has 0 active dependents and 0 new dependents in 365 days. Featured needs 11 active dependents or 9 new dependents in 365 days. The repository route reads 39 stars, 6 forks and 3 contributors. It needs 4,539 stars, 434 forks and 79 contributors together.
  • The project is dormant and not finished. Dormancy rule

What else the check found

  • The last activity is on 18 May 2024, 905 days ago. That reaches the 365 days the rules expect, so the project is dormant. Dormancy rule

Not measured: Latest release fails cargo check.

Exact rules: Listed, Featured library. The check on applied thresholds version 9.

Every rule outcome, as the check records it
  • expected-interval: version 0.8.0 base 140, raised to the 365-day floor: E = 365 days
  • dormancy: last activity 2024-05-18, 905 days ago, E = 365: dormant
  • featured: not featured: active_users 0 < 11 and new_adopters 0 < 9 and repository route stars 39 (needs 4539), forks 6 (needs 434), contributors 3 (needs 79); dormant and not stable
