Public Members

std::vector<ToGpuCloner> sub_cloners

bool shard = false

Whether to shard the index across GPUs, versus replication across GPUs

int shard_type = 1

IndexIVF::copy_subset_to subset type.

bool common_ivf_quantizer = false

set to true if an IndexIVF is to be dispatched to multiple GPUs with a single common IVF quantizer, ie. only the inverted lists are sharded on the sub-indexes (uses an IndexShardsIVF)

IndicesOptions indicesOptions = INDICES_64_BIT

how should indices be stored on index types that support indices (anything but GpuIndexFlat*)?

bool useFloat16CoarseQuantizer = false

is the coarse quantizer in float16?

bool useFloat16 = false

for GpuIndexIVFFlat, is storage in float16? for GpuIndexIVFPQ, are intermediate calculations in float16?

bool usePrecomputed = false

use precomputed tables?

long reserveVecs = 0

reserve vectors in the invfiles?

bool storeTransposed = false

For GpuIndexFlat, store data in transposed layout?

bool verbose = false

Set verbose options on the index.

bool use_cuvs = false

use the cuVS implementation

bool allowCpuCoarseQuantizer = false

This flag controls the CPU fallback logic for coarse quantizer component of the index. When set to false (default), the cloner will throw an exception for indices not implemented on GPU. When set to true, it will fallback to a CPU implementation.
