## Member Function Documentation

void faiss::ProductQuantizer::compute_code_from_distance_table | ( | const float * | tab,
|  | uint8_t * | code
| ) |  | const

If we happen to have the distance tables precomputed, this is more efficient to compute the codes.

Definition at line 363 of file ProductQuantizer.cpp.

void faiss::ProductQuantizer::compute_distance_table | ( | const float * | x,
|  | float * | dis_table
| ) |  | const

Compute distance table for one vector.

The distance table for x = [x_0 x_1 .. x_(M-1)] is a M * ksub matrix that contains

dis_table (m, j) = || x_m - c_(m, j)||^2 for m = 0..M-1 and j = 0 .. ksub - 1

where c_(m, j) is the centroid no j of sub-quantizer m.

Parameters

  x | input vector size d
  dis_table | output table, size M * ksub

Definition at line 410 of file ProductQuantizer.cpp.

void faiss::ProductQuantizer::compute_distance_tables | ( | size_t | nx,
|  | const float * | x,
|  | float * | dis_tables
| ) |  | const

compute distance table for several vectors

Parameters

  nx | nb of input vectors
  x | input vector size nx * d
  dis_table | output table, size nx * M * ksub

Definition at line 439 of file ProductQuantizer.cpp.

void faiss::ProductQuantizer::search | ( | const float * | x,
|  | size_t | nx,
|  | const uint8_t * | codes,
|  | const size_t | ncodes,
|  | float_maxheap_array_t * | res,
|  | bool | init_finalize_heap = `true`
| ) |  | const

perform a search (L2 distance)

Parameters

  x | query vectors, size nx * d
  nx | nb of queries
  codes | database codes, size ncodes * byte_per_idx
  ncodes | nb of nb vectors
  res | heap array to store results (nh == nx)
  init_finalize_heap | initialize heap (input) and sort (output)?

Definition at line 540 of file ProductQuantizer.cpp.

void faiss::ProductQuantizer::search_ip | ( | const float * | x,
|  | size_t | nx,
|  | const uint8_t * | codes,
|  | const size_t | ncodes,
|  | float_minheap_array_t * | res,
|  | bool | init_finalize_heap = `true`
| ) |  | const

same as search, but with inner product similarity
