The basic kernel accumulates nq query vectors with bbs = nb * 2 * 16 vectors and produces an output matrix for that. It is interesting for nq * nb <= 4, otherwise register spilling becomes too large.

The implementation of these functions is spread over 3 cpp files to reduce parallel compile times. Templates are instantiated explicitly.

Throughout the library, vectors are provided as float * pointers. Most algorithms can be optimized when several vectors are processed (added/searched) together in a batch. In this case, they are passed in as a matrix. When n vectors of size d are provided as float * x, component j of vector i is

x[ i * d + j ]

where 0 <= i < n and 0 <= j < d. In other words, matrices are always compact. When specifying the size of the matrix, we call it an n*d matrix, which implies a row-major storage.

This source code is licensed under the MIT license found in the LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree. Since IVF (inverted file) indexes are of so much use for large-scale use cases, we group a few functions related to them in this small library. Most functions work both on IndexIVFs and IndexIVFs embedded within an IndexPreTransform.

struct DistanceComputer

Subclassed by faiss::FlatCodesDistanceComputer

Public Functions

virtual void set_query(const float *x) = 0

called before computing distances. Pointer x should remain valid while operator () is called

virtual float operator()(idx_t i) = 0

compute distance of vector i to current query

inline virtual void distances_batch_4(const idx_t idx0, const idx_t idx1, const idx_t idx2, const idx_t idx3, float &dis0, float &dis1, float &dis2, float &dis3)

compute distances of current query to 4 stored vectors. certain DistanceComputer implementations may benefit heavily from this.

virtual float symmetric_dis(idx_t i, idx_t j) = 0

compute distance between two stored vectors

inline virtual ~DistanceComputer()
