If you have NVIDIA GPUs then building HNSW based indexes can be sped up manifold. This is powered by the [cuVS-Lucene](https://github.com/rapidsai/cuvs-lucene) library, a pluggable vectors format for Apache Lucene. It uses the state of the art [CAGRA algorithm](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.15136) for quickly building a fixed degree connected graph, which is then serialized into a HNSW graph. [CUDA 13.0+](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) and [JDK 22](https://jdk.java.net/archive/) are required to use this feature. + + +To try this out, first copy the module jar files (found in the regular Solr tarball, not the slim one) before starting Solr.
