Accelerating AI Vector Search in Oracle Database 23ai with NVIDIA GPUs

Oracle AI vector search allows you to index and query vector embeddings using the full power of SQL. A critical part of vector search is building in-memory vector indexes. Vector indexes are computationally intensive to build. As data size grows, index build times grow progressively longer. We discuss how the computational and memory bandwidth performance of NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA cuVS can be used to accelerate vector index build times.
