Thanks for mentioning this @mosynaq, I was not aware of it.
It seems that many things mentioned in https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/projects are already done:

• long -> int64_t (including tricky cases like 1L that becomes (int64_t)1
• some lib functions like the random generator and time are replaced with their windows equivalents
• some SSE / AVX intrinsics translated
• stack allocs with variable sizes replaced with heap allocs
• visual studio project

However, the Faiss version dates back to july'18 and there are some additions like another GPU implementation of brute-force search that are not really necessary.
