Description
What is your question?
Hi!
I'm looking to only run select parts of vector search on GPUs, specifically PQ processes.
- Are these directly available through the API?
- What functions should I be looking at for dealing with PQ specifically? It looks like this file should be the one of interest, if I'm not mistaken?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with cpp/src/neighbors/ivf_pq/ivf_pq_build.cuh, the file linked in the question, and trace the surrounding public API entry points for product-quantization processing. Determine whether those lower-level functions are directly available and identify the functions relevant to PQ. Done means documenting the API availability and the appropriate functions for selectively running PQ processes on GPUs.
