Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Faiss 1.7.4

Test: bench_polysemous_sift1m - Polysemous 64

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 42 public results since 28 April 2023 with the latest data as of 8 January 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Faiss 1.7.4 - Test: bench_polysemous_sift1m - Polysemous 64) has an average run-time of 15 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
