SIFT-1B Dataset & Disk Index

The SIFT-1B (BigANN) dataset and pre-built disk-based ANN index. Built February 2026 on Intel Xeon 8462Y+ (Sapphire Rapids) with 800GB RAM.

Build Parameters

Parameter Value
Dataset SIFT-1B (1,000,000,000 vectors, 128-dim, uint8)
Graph R 128 (max degree)
Build L 200 (search list size during construction)
PQ chunks 32 (4 dimensions per sub-quantizer)
Build time ~2 days

Files

Raw Data

File Size Description
base.bin 120GB Raw SIFT-1B vectors. Binary format: [uint32 num_points][uint32 dim][uint8 vectors...]. 1B x 128-dim x uint8.
query.bin 1.3MB 10,000 query vectors in the same format. Standard BigANN query set.
gt.bin 39MB Ground truth (100 nearest neighbors per query). Binary format: [uint32 num_queries][uint32 K][uint32 ids...].

Disk Index

File Size Description
disk_diskidx_parts/ 636GB total Sector-aligned Vamana graph, split into 250GB chunks for upload. Each 4096-byte sector contains one or more nodes. Each node stores: [float32 coords[128]][uint32 num_neighbors][uint32 neighbor_ids[R]]. Primary structure for graph-based disk ANN search. Reassemble with: cat disk_diskidx_parts/disk.diskidx.*.part > disk.diskidx
disk.pq 129KB PQ codebook (trained centroids). 32 sub-quantizers, each with 256 centroids of 4 float32 values. Used to compute approximate distances without reading full vectors from disk.
disk.pqcodes 30GB PQ-compressed representation of all 1B vectors. Each vector encoded as 32 bytes (one centroid ID per sub-quantizer). Loaded into memory for fast approximate distance computation during search.

In-Memory Sample Index

File Size Description
mem 3.2GB In-memory Vamana graph built on a 1% sample (~10M points). Provides fast entry point discovery — search this small graph first, then jump into the full disk graph at promising locations.
mem.data 1.2GB Raw vectors for the 1% sample points. Kept in memory for exact distance computation during sample graph traversal.
mem.tags 39MB Maps sample graph node IDs to their corresponding IDs in the full 1B dataset, so sample graph results can be used as entry points into the disk graph.
