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 IndexFlatCodes : public faiss::Index
#include <IndexFlatCodes.h>

Index that encodes all vectors as fixed-size codes (size code_size). Storage is in the codes vector

Subclassed by faiss::Index2Layer, faiss::IndexAdditiveQuantizer, faiss::IndexFlat, faiss::IndexLSH, faiss::IndexPQ, faiss::IndexScalarQuantizer

Public Functions

IndexFlatCodes()
IndexFlatCodes(size_t code_size, idx_t d, MetricType metric = METRIC_L2)
virtual void add(idx_t n, const float *x) override

default add uses sa_encode

virtual void reset() override

removes all elements from the database.

virtual void reconstruct_n(idx_t i0, idx_t ni, float *recons) const override

Reconstruct vectors i0 to i0 + ni - 1

this function may not be defined for some indexes

Parameters:
  • i0 – index of the first vector in the sequence

  • ni – number of vectors in the sequence

  • recons – reconstucted vector (size ni * d)

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

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 size_t sa_code_size() const override

size of the produced codes in bytes

virtual size_t remove_ids(const IDSelector &sel) override

remove some ids. NB that because of the structure of the index, the semantics of this operation are different from the usual ones: the new ids are shifted

virtual FlatCodesDistanceComputer *get_FlatCodesDistanceComputer() const

a FlatCodesDistanceComputer offers a distance_to_code method

inline virtual DistanceComputer *get_distance_computer() const override

Get a DistanceComputer (defined in AuxIndexStructures) object for this kind of index.

DistanceComputer is implemented for indexes that support random access of their vectors.

CodePacker *get_CodePacker() const
virtual void check_compatible_for_merge(const Index &otherIndex) const override

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

virtual void merge_from(Index &otherIndex, idx_t add_id = 0) override

moves the entries from another dataset to self. On output, other is empty. add_id is added to all moved ids (for sequential ids, this would be this->ntotal)

void permute_entries(const idx_t *perm)
