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.

namespace quantize_lut

Functions to quantize PQ floating-point Look Up Tables (LUT) to uint8, and biases to uint16. The accumulation is supposed to take place in uint16. The quantization coefficients are float (a, b) such that

 original_value = quantized_value * a / b
The hardest part of the quantization is with multiple LUTs that need to be added up together. In that case, coefficient a has to be chosen so that the sum fits in a uint16 accumulator.

Functions

void round_uint8_per_column(float *tab, size_t n, size_t d, float *a_out = nullptr, float *b_out = nullptr)
void round_uint8_per_column_multi(float *tab, size_t m, size_t n, size_t d, float *a_out = nullptr, float *b_out = nullptr)
void quantize_LUT_and_bias(size_t nprobe, size_t M, size_t ksub, bool lut_is_3d, const float *LUT, const float *bias, uint8_t *LUTq, size_t M2, uint16_t *biasq, float *a_out = nullptr, float *b_out = nullptr)

LUT quantization to uint8 and bias to uint16.

(nprobe, M, ksub, lut_is_3d) determine the size of the the LUT

LUT input:

  • 2D size (M, ksub): single matrix per probe (lut_is_3d=false)

  • 3D size (nprobe, M, ksub): separate LUT per probe (lut_is_3d=true) bias input:

  • nullptr: bias is 0

  • size (nprobe): one bias per probe Output:

  • LUTq uint8 version of the LUT (M size is rounded up to M2)

  • biasq (or nullptr): uint16 version of the LUT

  • a, b: scalars to approximate the true distance

void aq_quantize_LUT_and_bias(size_t nprobe, size_t M, size_t ksub, const float *LUT, const float *bias, size_t M_norm, int norm_scale, uint8_t *LUTq, size_t M2, uint16_t *biasq, float *a_out, float *b_out)
float aq_estimate_norm_scale(size_t M, size_t ksub, size_t M_norm, const float *LUT)
