Demos for a few Faiss functionalities
=====================================
demo_auto_tune.py
-----------------
Demonstrates the auto-tuning functionality of Faiss
demo_ondisk_ivf.py
------------------
Shows how to construct a Faiss index that stores the inverted file
data on disk, eg. when it does not fit in RAM. The script works on a
small dataset (sift1M) for demonstration and proceeds in stages:
0: train on the dataset
1-4: build 4 indexes, each containing 1/4 of the dataset. This can be
done in parallel on several machines
5: merge the 4 indexes into one that is written directly to disk
(needs not to fit in RAM)
6: load and test the index
