# Knowhere

This topic introduces Knowhere, the core vector execution engine of Milvus.
This topic introduces Knowhere, the core vector search engine of Milvus.

## Overview

Knowhere is the core vector execution engine of Milvus, which incorporates several vector similarity search libraries including [Faiss](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss), [Hnswlib](https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib) and [Annoy](https://github.com/spotify/annoy). Knowhere is also designed to support heterogeneous computing. It controls on which hardware (CPU or GPU) to execute index building and search requests. This is how Knowhere gets its name - knowing where to execute the operations. More types of hardware including DPU and TPU will be supported in future releases.
