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.

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 IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

Encapsulates a set of ids to handle.

Subclassed by PyCallbackIDSelector, faiss::IDSelectorAll, faiss::IDSelectorAnd, faiss::IDSelectorArray, faiss::IDSelectorBatch, faiss::IDSelectorBitmap, faiss::IDSelectorNot, faiss::IDSelectorOr, faiss::IDSelectorRange, faiss::IDSelectorTranslated, faiss::IDSelectorXOr

Public Functions

virtual bool is_member(idx_t id) const = 0
inline virtual ~IDSelector()
struct IDSelectorRange : public faiss::IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

ids between [imin, imax)

Public Functions

IDSelectorRange(idx_t imin, idx_t imax, bool assume_sorted = false)
virtual bool is_member(idx_t id) const final
void find_sorted_ids_bounds(size_t list_size, const idx_t *ids, size_t *jmin, size_t *jmax) const

for sorted ids, find the range of list indices where the valid ids are stored

inline ~IDSelectorRange() override

Public Members

idx_t imin
idx_t imax
bool assume_sorted

Assume that the ids to handle are sorted. In some cases this can speed up processing

struct IDSelectorArray : public faiss::IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

Simple array of elements

is_member calls are very inefficient, but some operations can use the ids directly.

Public Functions

IDSelectorArray(size_t n, const idx_t *ids)

Construct with an array of ids to process

Parameters:
  • n – number of ids to store

  • ids – elements to store. The pointer should remain valid during IDSelectorArray’s lifetime

virtual bool is_member(idx_t id) const final
inline ~IDSelectorArray() override

Public Members

size_t n
const idx_t *ids
struct IDSelectorBatch : public faiss::IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

Ids from a set.

Repetitions of ids in the indices set passed to the constructor does not hurt performance.

The hash function used for the bloom filter and GCC’s implementation of unordered_set are just the least significant bits of the id. This works fine for random ids or ids in sequences but will produce many hash collisions if lsb’s are always the same

Public Functions

IDSelectorBatch(size_t n, const idx_t *indices)

Construct with an array of ids to process

Parameters:
  • n – number of ids to store

  • ids – elements to store. The pointer can be released after construction

virtual bool is_member(idx_t id) const final
inline ~IDSelectorBatch() override

Public Members

std::unordered_set<idx_t> set
std::vector<uint8_t> bloom
int nbits
idx_t mask
struct IDSelectorBitmap : public faiss::IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

One bit per element. Constructed with a bitmap, size ceil(n / 8).

Public Functions

IDSelectorBitmap(size_t n, const uint8_t *bitmap)

Construct with a binary mask

Parameters:
  • n – size of the bitmap array

  • bitmap – id will be selected iff id / 8 < n and bit number (i%8) of bitmap[floor(i / 8)] is 1.

virtual bool is_member(idx_t id) const final
inline ~IDSelectorBitmap() override

Public Members

size_t n
const uint8_t *bitmap
struct IDSelectorNot : public faiss::IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

inline virtual ~IDSelectorNot()

Public Members

inline virtual ~IDSelectorAll()
struct IDSelectorAnd : public faiss::IDSelector
#include <IDSelector.h>

does an AND operation on the the two given IDSelector’s is_membership results.

#include <IDSelector.h>

does an OR operation on the the two given IDSelector’s is_membership results.
