Description
# faiss implementation question
- we are using faiss, it's nice and really fast.
- and we think the fastest combination would be like: GPU+IVF+Binary+Flat
- we notice there is GPU "BinaryFlatIndex" and GPU "IVFFlat" but NOT GPU "IVFBianry"
- As codes of "IVF" and "IVFBinary" looks really similar in Cpu , I wonder:
- Why you don't realize GPU "IVFBinary" passingly?
- What's your consideration about this feature?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Compare the existing GPU BinaryFlatIndex and GPU IVFFlat implementations with the CPU IVF and IVFBinary implementations mentioned in the issue. Determine the design considerations for GPU IVFBinary support and document a concrete implementation scope or decision about whether to pursue it.
