ARM 4-BIT PQ: SIMD-Based Acceleration for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search on ARM

We accelerate the 4-bit product quantization (PQ) on the ARM architecture. Notably, the drastic performance of the conventional 4-bit PQ strongly relies on x64-specific SIMD register, such as AVX2; hence, we cannot yet achieve such good performance on ARM. To fill this gap, we first bundle two 128-b…
