Extended Management Summary I

• Daylight have built a Chemical Cartridge for Oracle that is

  • Easy to use
    • simply say ‘CREATE INDEX …’
  • Fast to search (3.5 s/ 0.5 Mio structures / 269 hits)
  • Fast to build
    • SMILES index: 80 min / 0.5 Mio structures
    • Fingerprint index: 2 min / 0.5 Mio Fingerprints
    • Fingerprint computation in parallel 30 min / 0.5 Mio Fingerprints / SPARC Ultra-4, 2CPU, 450 MHz
  • Robust
    • Problems in the Cartridge don’t affect Oracle
    • Automatic restart in case of problems
    • Note: This is a feature of the production system that can only be tested in beta because the Cartridge wouldn’t crash otherwise.
