FM-Index

Description

Here you can download the latest implementation of the FM-Index (currently version 2) by Paolo Ferragina and Rossano Venturini. This is an engineered implementation from the original one proposed by Ferragina and Manzini in ACM-SIAM Soda 2001.

See the FM-Index page (version 2) for more information about this implementation, its novelties, and its use. We also refer the reader to that page for details about the parameter build_options of the API.

In case you are interested to the original FM-index (version 1) please have a look at the corresponding Web page. However, please notice that the library for the FM-index V1 does not comply to the Pizza&Chili API, and thus it is referred here only for historical reasons.
