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 IndexBinaryFlat : public faiss::IndexBinary
#include <IndexBinaryFlat.h>

Index that stores the full vectors and performs exhaustive search.

Public Functions

explicit IndexBinaryFlat(idx_t d)
virtual void add(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x) override

Add n vectors of dimension d to the index.

Vectors are implicitly assigned labels ntotal .. ntotal + n - 1

Parameters:

x – input matrix, size n * d / 8

virtual void reset() override

Removes all elements from the database.

virtual void search(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, idx_t k, int32_t *distances, idx_t *labels, const SearchParameters *params = nullptr) const override

Query n vectors of dimension d to the index.

return at most k vectors. If there are not enough results for a query, the result array is padded with -1s.

Parameters:

  • x – input vectors to search, size n * d / 8

  • labels – output labels of the NNs, size n*k

  • distances – output pairwise distances, size n*k

virtual void range_search(idx_t n, const uint8_t *x, int radius, RangeSearchResult *result, const SearchParameters *params = nullptr) const override

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). The distances are converted to float to reuse the RangeSearchResult structure, but they are integer. By convention, only distances < radius (strict comparison) are returned, ie. radius = 0 does not return any result and 1 returns only exact same vectors.

Parameters:

  • x – input vectors to search, size n * d / 8

  • radius – search radius

  • result – result table

virtual void reconstruct(idx_t key, uint8_t *recons) const override

Reconstruct a stored vector.

This function may not be defined for some indexes.

Parameters:

  • key – id of the vector to reconstruct

  • recons – reconstucted vector (size d / 8)

virtual size_t remove_ids(const IDSelector &sel) override

Remove some ids. Note that because of the indexing structure, the semantics of this operation are different from the usual ones: the new ids are shifted.
