Hi all, I recently tried out the cuVS-lucene backed codec in Solr 10.0 for GPU accelerated vector indexing and I think it is a pretty exciting and cutting-edge addition to Solr. However at the moment it seems to not work out of the box and the failure mode is a silent switch to CPU backed vector indexing (using the lucene native Lucene99HnswVectorsWriter instead of the cuvs-lucene based writer).
I submitted a patch for this and validated the same on a GPU machine: https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/4328 . Also cherry-picked to branch_10_0 and branch_10x. Which led me to thinking if we even have GPU resources available today in the CI infrastructure to run tests? I was reading through https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17892 and saw this being mentioned: - We are also exploring the possibility of contributing GPU resources to Apache Solr’s CI infrastructure for continuous GPU test coverage (to be discussed further with the community). Hence checking with the community if there was a conclusion to this (?) There is also a mention about benchmarks in the JIRA and would love to see if the same were also made available at any point? Thanks, Rahul
