Features

  • Single-computer or distributed mode.
  • Designed to handle efficiently heavy objects (trees, graphs).
  • The API is compact and easy to understand.
  • Stability and scalability: OBSearch's secondary storage backend is Oracle's Berkeley DB. An extensive test suite makes sure that data integrity is preserved.
  • Cutting edge: We strive to put together the latest algorithms the scientific community has to offer. For example, we use a "Mersenne Twister" random function, and also the K-means++ algorithm. Even some unpublished work on pivot selection strategies is included!
