# Welcome to Milvus
|
|
|
|
## What is Milvus
|
|
|
|
Milvus is an open source similarity search engine for massive feature vectors. Designed with heterogeneous computing architecture for the best cost efficiency. Searches over billion-scale vectors take only milliseconds with minimum computing resources.
|
|
|
|
Milvus provides stable Python, Java and C++ APIs.
|
|
|
|
Keep up-to-date with newest releases and latest updates by reading Milvus [release notes](https://milvus.io/docs/en/Releases/v0.4.0/).
|
|
|
|
- GPU-accelerated search engine
|
|
|
|
Milvus uses CPU/GPU heterogeneous computing architecture to process feature vectors, and are orders of magnitudes faster than traditional databases.
|
|
|
|
- Multiple indexes
|
|
|
|
Milvus supports a variety of indexing types that employs quantization, tree-based, and graph indexing techniques.
|
|
|
|
- Intelligent resource management
|
|
|
|
Milvus optimizes the search computation and index building according to your data size and available resources.
|
|
|
|
- Horizontal scalability
|
|
|
|
Milvus expands computation and storage by adding nodes during runtime, which allows you to scale the data size without redesigning the system.

## Architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Get started
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Requirements
|

|
| --------- | ----------------------------------- |
|
|
| CPU | Intel CPU Haswell or higher |
|
|
| GPU | NVIDIA Pascal series or higher |
|
|
| Memory | 8 GB or more (depends on data size) |
|
|
| Storage | SATA 3.0 SSD or higher |
|
|
|
|
### Install using docker
|
|
|
|
Use Docker to install Milvus is a breeze. See the [Milvus install guide](https://milvus.io/docs/en/userguide/install_milvus/) for details.
|
|
|
|
### Build from source
|
|
|
|
#### Software requirements

|
|
|
- Ubuntu 18.04 or higher
|
|
- CMake 3.14 or higher
|
|
- CUDA 10.0 or higher
|
|
- NVIDIA driver 418 or higher
|
|
|
|
#### Compilation
|
|
|
|
##### Step 1 Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cd [Milvus sourcecode path]/core
|
|
./ubuntu_build_deps.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Step 2 Build
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cd [Milvus sourcecode path]/core
|
|
$ ./build.sh -t Debug
|
|
or
|
|
$ ./build.sh -t Release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the build is completed, all the stuff that you need in order to run Milvus will be installed under `[Milvus root path]/core/milvus`.
|
|
|
|
#### Launch Milvus server
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cd [Milvus root path]/core/milvus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add `lib/` directory to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/milvus/lib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then start Milvus server:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd scripts
|
|
$ ./start_server.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To stop Milvus server, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ ./stop_server.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To edit Milvus settings in `conf/server_config.yaml` and `conf/log_config.conf`, please read [Milvus Configuration](https://github.com/milvus-io/docs/blob/master/reference/milvus_config.md).
