Struct faiss::IndexIVFAdditiveQuantizerFastScan

struct IndexIVFAdditiveQuantizerFastScan : public faiss::IndexIVFFastScan

Fast scan version of IVFAQ. Works for 4-bit AQ for now.

The codes in the inverted lists are not stored sequentially but grouped in blocks of size bbs. This makes it possible to very quickly compute distances with SIMD instructions.

Implementations (implem): 0: auto-select implementation (default) 1: orig’s search, re-implemented 2: orig’s search, re-ordered by invlist 10: optimizer int16 search, collect results in heap, no qbs 11: idem, collect results in reservoir 12: optimizer int16 search, collect results in heap, uses qbs 13: idem, collect results in reservoir
