The distribution kit contains demonstration implementations of network-capable, interactive text and sequence retrieval tools that function with very large genomic data bases and illustrate the toolkit's capability to manipulate massive data sets of genomic information.
The toolkit is a solution to the problem of manipulating very large, character string indexed, multi-dimensional, sparse matrices.
A global array is a persistent, sparse, undeclared, multi-dimensional, string indexed data disk based structure.
The toolkit makes the data base and function set available as C++ classes and also permits interpretive execution of legacy Mumps scripts.
The toolkit implements the legacy Mumps functions: $ascii(), $extract(), $find(), $horolog, $length(), $name(), $justify(), $order(), $piece(), and $test as well as vector and matrix operations, Boyer–Moore–Gosper string search algorithm functions, a Smith–Waterman algorithm function, relational algebra operations and access to the Perl Compatible Regular Expression library (PCRE).
