Accelerate Your Vector Search with New Auto-Optimization and GPU Acceleration in Amazon OpenSearch Service
Amazon OpenSearch Service has released powerful new features designed to dramatically improve the performance and cost-efficiency of vector search – auto-optimization and GPU acceleration. These advancements empower you to build and scale complex applications like semantic search, proposal engines, and fraud detection with greater ease.
What’s New?
Here’s a breakdown of the key updates:
* auto-Optimization for Vector Fields: You can now automatically optimize your vector fields during index creation. This simplifies the process of achieving optimal search quality and latency, eliminating much of the manual tuning previously required.
* GPU Acceleration: Leverage the power of GPUs to accelerate indexing of your vector databases. This results in up to 10x faster indexing speeds at a quarter of the cost.
* Expanded Regional Availability: Both auto-optimization and GPU acceleration are now available in a growing number of AWS regions, bringing these benefits closer to your users.
How Auto-Optimization Works
Creating a new vector ingestion job is straightforward.here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Prepare your dataset: Ensure your OpenSearch Service parquet documents are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket and select your desired domain or collection as the destination.
- Configure Index and Automate Optimizations: During index configuration, you can now enable auto-optimization for your vector fields. currently, auto-optimization supports one vector field, with the ability to add further index mappings after the initial job completes.
- Ingest and Accelerate Indexing: Utilize OpenSearch ingestion pipelines to efficiently load data from Amazon S3 into OpenSearch Service.
Your optimization settings should align with your specific use case. As an example, if high search quality (recall rate) is paramount and faster response times are less critical, choose Modest for latency requirements and set the acceptable search quality (recall) to 0.9 or higher. The processing time for auto-optimization will vary depending on the dimensionality of your vectors.
Understanding Vector Acceleration Pricing
OpenSearch Service charges separately for Vector Acceleration OCU, specifically for indexing your vector databases. You onyl pay for the resources you consume.Detailed pricing data is available on the OpenSearch service pricing page.
