Class faiss::gpu::GpuIndexIVF

class GpuIndexIVF : public faiss::gpu::GpuIndex

Base class of all GPU IVF index types. This (for now) deliberately does not inherit from IndexIVF, as many of the public data members and functionality in IndexIVF is not supported in the same manner on the GPU.

Subclassed by faiss::gpu::GpuIndexIVFFlat, faiss::gpu::GpuIndexIVFPQ, faiss::gpu::GpuIndexIVFScalarQuantizer

Public Functions

GpuIndexIVF(GpuResourcesProvider *provider, int dims, faiss::MetricType metric, float metricArg, int nlist, GpuIndexIVFConfig config = GpuIndexIVFConfig())

Version that auto-constructs a flat coarse quantizer based on the desired metric

GpuIndexIVF(GpuResourcesProvider *provider, Index *coarseQuantizer, int dims, faiss::MetricType metric, float metricArg, int nlist, GpuIndexIVFConfig config = GpuIndexIVFConfig())

Version that takes a coarse quantizer instance. The GpuIndexIVF does not own the coarseQuantizer instance by default (functions like IndexIVF).

~GpuIndexIVF() override

void copyFrom(const faiss::IndexIVF *index)

Copy what we need from the CPU equivalent.

void copyTo(faiss::IndexIVF *index) const

Copy what we have to the CPU equivalent.

virtual void updateQuantizer() = 0

Should be called if the user ever changes the state of the IVF coarse quantizer manually (e.g., substitutes a new instance or changes vectors in the coarse quantizer outside the scope of training)

int getNumLists() const

Returns the number of inverted lists we’re managing.

int getListLength(int listId) const

Returns the number of vectors present in a particular inverted list.

std::vector<uint8_t> getListVectorData(int listId, bool gpuFormat = false) const

Return the encoded vector data contained in a particular inverted list, for debugging purposes. If gpuFormat is true, the data is returned as it is encoded in the GPU-side representation. Otherwise, it is converted to the CPU format. compliant format, while the native GPU format may differ.

std::vector<idx_t> getListIndices(int listId) const

Return the vector indices contained in a particular inverted list, for debugging purposes.

void setNumProbes(int nprobe)

Sets the number of list probes per query.

int getNumProbes() const

Returns our current number of list probes per query.

void search_preassigned(idx_t n, const float *x, idx_t k, const idx_t *assign, const float *centroid_dis, float *distances, idx_t *labels, bool store_pairs, const SearchParametersIVF *params = nullptr) const

Same interface as faiss::IndexIVF, in order to search a set of vectors pre-quantized by the IVF quantizer. Does not include IndexIVFStats as that can only be obtained on the host via a GPU d2h copy.

Parameters:

• n – nb of vectors to query

• x – query vectors, size nx * d

• assign – coarse quantization indices, size nx * nprobe

• centroid_dis – distances to coarse centroids, size nx * nprobe

• distance – output distances, size n * k

• labels – output labels, size n * k

• store_pairs – store inv list index + inv list offset instead in upper/lower 32 bit of result, instead of ids (used for reranking).

• params – used to override the object’s search parameters

int getDevice() const

Returns the device that this index is resident on.

std::shared_ptr<GpuResources> getResources()

Returns a reference to our GpuResources object that manages memory, stream and handle resources on the GPU

virtual void range_search(idx_t n, const float *x, float radius, RangeSearchResult *result, const SearchParameters *params = nullptr) const

query n vectors of dimension d to the index.

return all vectors with distance < radius. Note that many indexes do not implement the range_search (only the k-NN search is mandatory).

Parameters:

• x – input vectors to search, size n * d

• radius – search radius

• result – result table

virtual void reset() = 0

removes all elements from the database.

virtual size_t remove_ids(const IDSelector &sel)

removes IDs from the index. Not supported by all indexes. Returns the number of elements removed.

virtual void reconstruct(idx_t key, float *recons) const

Reconstruct a stored vector (or an approximation if lossy coding)

this function may not be defined for some indexes

Parameters:

• key – id of the vector to reconstruct

• recons – reconstucted vector (size d)

virtual void reconstruct_batch(idx_t n, const idx_t *keys, float *recons) const

Reconstruct several stored vectors (or an approximation if lossy coding)

virtual void check_compatible_for_merge(const Index &otherIndex) const

check that the two indexes are compatible (ie, they are trained in the same way and have the same parameters). Otherwise throw.
