## Member Data Documentation

bool faiss::gpu::GpuIndexFlatConfig::storeTransposed

Whether or not data is stored (transparently) in a transposed layout, enabling use of the NN GEMM call, which is ~10% faster. This will improve the speed of the flat index, but will substantially slow down any add() calls made, as all data must be transposed, and will increase storage requirements (we store data in both transposed and non-transposed layouts).

bool faiss::gpu::GpuIndexFlatConfig::useFloat16Accumulator

Whether or not all math is performed in float16, if useFloat16 is specified. If true, we use cublasHgemm, supported only on CC 5.3+. Otherwise, we use cublasSgemmEx.
