SharpCoreDB.VectorSearch v2.1.0-RC.3

SIMD-Accelerated Vector Similarity Search

Semantic search and similarity matching 50-100x faster than SQLite using HNSW indexing and SIMD acceleration.

Patch updates in v1.9.5 (archived; current release v2.1.0-RC.3)

  • Parameterized query binding fixed (Issue #336): named-parameter binding is token-aware, so parameter names that are prefixes of others (e.g. @t vs @tid) no longer corrupt the SQL.
  • Server parameter pass-through fixed (Issue #337): request.Parameters are forwarded on gRPC, the binary (PostgreSQL) protocol and WebSocket.
  • ULID encoding is now standards-compliant: ULIDs follow the official Crockford Base32 spec and are interchangeable with Python/Java/Go implementations.
  • NuGet dependencies updated to their latest stable versions.
  • ✅ Aligned package metadata and version references to the synchronized 1.9.5 release line.
  • ✅ Release automation now publishes all packable SharpCoreDB packages in CI/CD.

Features

  • ✅ Inherits metadata improvements from SharpCoreDB v1.9.5
  • ✅ Phase 8 complete: HNSW-accelerated semantic search
  • ✅ 50-100x faster than SQLite
  • ✅ NativeAOT compatible
  • ✅ Zero breaking changes

🚀 Key Features

  • HNSW Indexing: Hierarchical Navigable Small World graphs
  • SIMD Acceleration: Vectorized distance calculations
  • Semantic Search: Find similar embeddings efficiently
  • Scalability: Millions of vectors, sub-millisecond queries
  • Production Ready: 1,468+ tests, enterprise reliability

🎯 Use Cases

  • RAG Systems: Knowledge base semantic search
  • Recommendation Engines: Find similar products/content
  • Duplicate Detection: Identify similar records
  • Clustering: Group similar embeddings
  • AI Applications: LLM-powered semantic search

📊 Performance

  • Search Latency: Sub-millisecond for millions of vectors
  • Index Size: 10-20% of raw vector data
  • Build Time: Efficient incremental indexing
  • Memory: Low-memory HNSW implementation
