SIFT1B - Sharded DiskANN Indices

Pre-built DiskANN indices for the SIFT1B (BigANN) dataset, sharded for distributed vector search.

Chunked Files

Files larger than 49 GB are split into chunks for upload:

• *_512_none.indices.part00, .part01, etc.
• *_base_none.vectors.part00, etc. (if applicable)
• fbin/base.u8bin.part00, etc.

To reassemble: cat file.part00 file.part01 ... > file
