THOR is a high-performance, fully distributed chemical information database system for UNIX(R). It operates via a client/server mechanism. A single program (THOR Server) is responsible for maintaining databases on a given machine. Programs that access THOR databases can be run on a different machine (for example, a UNIX workstation) from the THOR Server (for example, a VAX(tm) mainframe), allowing either centralized or distributed database access.
THOR provides fully distributed, platform-independent, chemical database tools. The data access time is constant, regardless of the size of the the database (from 100 to 10 million structures), and the look-up time does not exceed 200 ms.
