Contributions #

We look forward to community contributions to PatANN. Here are specific areas where we’re seeking assistance:

Dataset Diversity Testing: #

Help us evaluate PatANN on a wider variety of datasets, particularly those with challenging characteristics:

• Uniformly distributed vectors without clear clustering patterns
• High-dimensional sparse vectors
• Datasets with adversarial examples or noise
• Domain-specific vectors

Hardware Platform Testing: #

Help us test PatANN on various hardware configurations

• ARM-based server deployments
• Multi-socket server configurations with complex NUMA topologies
• Edge computing devices with limited resources
• Apple Silicon and different tiers of x86 processors
• Testing with various SIMD instruction set availability (especially AMX)
