This is the released version of jvecfor; for the devel version, see jvecfor.
Fast K-Nearest Neighbor Search for Single-Cell Analysis
Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)
Drop-in replacement for BiocNeighbors::findKNN using the jvecfor Java library, which builds on the jvector library to leverage the Java Vector API for portable SIMD acceleration across AVX2, AVX-512, and ARM NEON hardware. jvecfor/jvector implements HNSW-DiskANN approximate search and VP-tree exact search. The package achieves approximately 2x speedup over Annoy-based search at n >= 50K cells while returning output structurally identical to BiocNeighbors, making it suitable for seamless integration into existing Bioconductor single-cell workflows. Convenience wrappers delegate shared nearest-neighbor (SNN) and k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) graph construction to the bluster package.
