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 OnDiskInvertedLists : public faiss::InvertedLists
#include <OnDiskInvertedLists.h>

On-disk storage of inverted lists.

The data is stored in a mmapped chunk of memory (base pointer ptr, size totsize). Each list is a range of memory that contains (object List) that contains:

  • uint8_t codes[capacity * code_size]

  • followed by idx_t ids[capacity]

in each of the arrays, the size <= capacity first elements are used, the rest is not initialized.

Addition and resize are supported by:

  • roundind up the capacity of the lists to a power of two

  • maintaining a list of empty slots, sorted by size.

  • resizing the mmapped block is adjusted as needed.

An OnDiskInvertedLists is compact if the size == capacity for all lists and there are no available slots.

Addition to the invlists is slow. For incremental add it is better to use a default ArrayInvertedLists object and convert it to an OnDisk with merge_from.

When it is known that a set of lists will be accessed, it is useful to call prefetch_lists, that launches a set of threads to read the lists in parallel.

Public Types

using List = OnDiskOneList

Public Functions

OnDiskInvertedLists(size_t nlist, size_t code_size, const char *filename)

are inverted lists mapped read-only

virtual size_t list_size(size_t list_no) const override

get the size of a list

virtual const uint8_t *get_codes(size_t list_no) const override

get the codes for an inverted list must be released by release_codes

Returns:

codes size list_size * code_size

virtual const idx_t *get_ids(size_t list_no) const override

get the ids for an inverted list must be released by release_ids

Returns:

ids size list_size

virtual size_t add_entries(size_t list_no, size_t n_entry, const idx_t *ids, const uint8_t *code) override
virtual void update_entries(size_t list_no, size_t offset, size_t n_entry, const idx_t *ids, const uint8_t *code) override
virtual void resize(size_t list_no, size_t new_size) override
size_t merge_from_multiple(const InvertedLists **ils, int n_il, bool shift_ids = false, bool verbose = false)
size_t merge_from_1(const InvertedLists *il, bool verbose = false)

same as merge_from for a single invlist

void crop_invlists(size_t l0, size_t l1)

restrict the inverted lists to l0:l1 without touching the mmapped region

virtual void prefetch_lists(const idx_t *list_nos, int nlist) const override

prepare the following lists (default does nothing) a list can be -1 hence the signed long

~OnDiskInvertedLists() override
void do_mmap()

void resize_locked(size_t list_no, size_t new_size)
size_t allocate_slot(size_t capacity)
void free_slot(size_t offset, size_t capacity)
void set_all_lists_sizes(const size_t *sizes)

override all list sizes and make a packed storage

struct OnDiskInvertedListsIOHook : public faiss::InvertedListsIOHook

Public Functions

OnDiskInvertedListsIOHook()
virtual void write(const InvertedLists *ils, IOWriter *f) const override

write the index to the IOWriter (including the fourcc)

virtual InvertedLists *read(IOReader *f, int io_flags) const override

called when the fourcc matches this class’s fourcc

virtual InvertedLists *read_ArrayInvertedLists(IOReader *f, int io_flags, size_t nlist, size_t code_size, const std::vector<size_t> &sizes) const override

read from a ArrayInvertedLists into this invertedlist type. For this to work, the callback has to be enabled and the io_flag has to be set to IO_FLAG_SKIP_IVF_DATA | (16 upper bits of the fourcc)

(default implementation fails)
