By leveraging the power of Intel® AVX-512 technology, users can experience remarkable performance improvements in vector search tasks. Specifically, when you run OpenSearch 2.17 or newer domains on the new C/M/R 7i instances, you can achieve up to a 51% increase in price performance compared to the previous R5 Intel instances.(1) Intel® AVX-512 is a built-in accelerator included in the latest instances, making it incredibly valuable for users looking to optimize their search capabilities to upgrade to the latest instances. And, because these accelerators are implicitly enabled in OpenSearch no code or configuration changes are needed to take advantage of the performance benefits.
What is Intel AVX-512?
Intel AVX-512 is a set of instructions that allows for more efficient processing of complex operations, particularly in applications that require high-performance computing. By enabling these instructions, Intel AVX-512 can significantly accelerate tasks that involve large datasets, such as vector searches, which are commonly used in machine learning, data analytics, and scientific computing.
Why Upgrade to C/M/R 7i Instances?
The latest C/M/R 7i instances are designed to maximize the benefits of Intel AVX-512 technology. These instances offer enhanced processing power, improved memory bandwidth, and optimized performance for compute-intensive workloads and are available with Amazon OpenSearch Service worldwide (see availability). Upgrade to maximize search your capabilities with OpenSearch.
