## What is Milvus
Milvus is an open source vector search engine that supports similarity search of large-scale vectors. Built on optimized indexing algorithm, it is compatible with major AI/ML models.
Milvus is an open source vector search engine which provides state-of-the-art similarity search and analysis for billion-scale feature vectors.
Milvus provides stable Python, C++ and Java 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 is designed for the largest scale of vector index. CPU/GPU heterogeneous computing architecture allows you to process data at a speed 1000 times faster.
Milvus uses CPU/GPU heterogeneous computing architecture to process feature vectors, and are orders of magnitudes faster than traditional databases.
-Intelligent index
-Various indexes
With a "Decide Your Own Algorithm" approach, you can embed machine learning and advanced algorithms into Milvus without the headache of complex data engineering or migrating data between disparate systems. Milvus is built on optimized indexing algorithm based on quantization indexing, tree-based and graph indexing methods.
Milvus supports quantization indexing, tree-based indexing, and graph indexing algorithms.
-Strong scalability
-Intelligent scheduling
The data is stored and computed on a distributed architecture. This lets you scale data sizes up and down without redesigning the system.
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.
Use Docker to install Milvus is a breeze. See the [Milvus install guide](https://milvus.io/docs/en/userguide/install_milvus/) for details.
