## Architecture
### Memory Layout
All types use PostgreSQL varlena format for seamless integration:
```rust
// BinaryVec: 2 + ceil(dims/8) bytes + header
struct BinaryVec {
dimensions: u16, // 2 bytes
data: Vec<u8>, // ceil(dims/8) bytes (bit-packed)
}
// ScalarVec: 10 + dims bytes + header
struct ScalarVec {
dimensions: u16, // 2 bytes
scale: f32, // 4 bytes
offset: f32, // 4 bytes
data: Vec<i8>, // dims bytes
}
// ProductVec: 4 + m bytes + header
struct ProductVec {
original_dims: u16, // 2 bytes
m: u8, // 1 byte (subspaces)
k: u8, // 1 byte (centroids)
codes: Vec<u8>, // m bytes
}
```
### SIMD Optimizations
#### BinaryVec Hamming Distance
**AVX2 Implementation:**
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
unsafe fn hamming_distance_avx2(a: &[u8], b: &[u8]) -> u32 {
// Process 32 bytes/iteration
// Use lookup table for popcount
// _mm256_shuffle_epi8 for parallel lookup
// _mm256_sad_epu8 for horizontal sum
}
```
**POPCNT Implementation:**
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "popcnt")]
unsafe fn hamming_distance_popcnt(a: &[u8], b: &[u8]) -> u32 {
// Process 8 bytes (64 bits)/iteration
// _popcnt64 for native popcount
}
```
**Runtime Dispatch:**
```rust
pub fn hamming_distance_simd(a: &[u8], b: &[u8]) -> u32 {
if is_x86_feature_detected!("avx2") && a.len() >= 32 {
unsafe { hamming_distance_avx2(a, b) }
} else if is_x86_feature_detected!("popcnt") {
unsafe { hamming_distance_popcnt(a, b) }
} else {
hamming_distance(a, b) // scalar fallback
}
}
```
#### ScalarVec L2 Distance
**AVX2 Implementation:**
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
unsafe fn distance_sq_avx2(a: &[i8], b: &[i8]) -> i32 {
// Process 32 i8 values/iteration
// _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 for sign extension
// _mm256_sub_epi16 for difference
// _mm256_madd_epi16 for square and accumulate
// Horizontal sum with _mm_add_epi32
}
```
#### ProductVec ADC Distance
**AVX2 Implementation:**
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
unsafe fn adc_distance_avx2(codes: &[u8], table: &[f32], k: usize) -> f32 {
// Process 8 subspaces/iteration
// Gather distances based on codes
// _mm256_add_ps for accumulation
// Horizontal sum with _mm_add_ps
}
```
### PostgreSQL Integration
Each type implements the required traits:
```rust
// Type registration
unsafe impl SqlTranslatable for BinaryVec {
fn argument_sql() -> Result<SqlMapping, ArgumentError> {
Ok(SqlMapping::As(String::from("binaryvec")))
}
fn return_sql() -> Result<Returns, ReturnsError> {
Ok(Returns::One(SqlMapping::As(String::from("binaryvec"))))
}
}
// Serialization (to PostgreSQL)
impl pgrx::IntoDatum for BinaryVec {
fn into_datum(self) -> Option<pgrx::pg_sys::Datum> {
let bytes = self.to_bytes();
// Allocate varlena with palloc
// Set varlena header
// Copy data
}
}
// Deserialization (from PostgreSQL)
impl pgrx::FromDatum for BinaryVec {
unsafe fn from_polymorphic_datum(
datum: pgrx::pg_sys::Datum,
is_null: bool,
_typoid: pgrx::pg_sys::Oid,
) -> Option<Self> {
// Extract varlena pointer
// Get data size
// Deserialize from bytes
}
}
```

## Design Decisions
### Why varlena?
PostgreSQL's varlena (variable-length) format provides:
1. **Automatic TOAST handling:** Large vectors compressed/externalized
2. **Memory management:** PostgreSQL handles allocation/deallocation
3. **Type safety:** Strong typing in SQL queries
4. **Wire protocol:** Built-in serialization for client/server
### Why SIMD?
SIMD optimizations provide:
1. **4-15x speedup:** Critical for billion-scale search
2. **Bandwidth efficiency:** Process more data per cycle
3. **Cache utilization:** Reduced memory pressure
4. **Batching:** Amortize function call overhead
### Why runtime dispatch?
Runtime feature detection enables:
1. **Portability:** Single binary runs on all CPUs
2. **Optimization:** Use best available instructions
3. **Fallback:** Scalar path for old/non-x86 CPUs
4. **Testing:** Verify SIMD vs scalar consistency
## Lessons Learned
### PostgreSQL Integration Challenges
1. **pgrx traits:** Custom types need careful trait implementation
2. **Memory context:** Must use palloc, not Rust allocators
3. **Type OIDs:** Dynamic type registration complex
4. **SQL function wrappers:** Intermediate types needed
### SIMD Optimization Pitfalls
1. **Alignment:** PostgreSQL doesn't guarantee 64-byte alignment
2. **Remainder handling:** Last few elements need scalar path
3. **Feature detection:** Cache detection results for performance
4. **Testing:** Must verify on actual CPUs, not just x86_64
### Performance Tuning
1. **Batch size:** 32 bytes optimal for AVX2
2. **Loop unrolling:** Helps with instruction-level parallelism
3. **Prefetching:** Not always beneficial with SIMD
4. **Horizontal sum:** Use specialized instructions (sad_epu8)
