molecular fingerprints

I wrote a set of essays on molecular fingerprints:

1. Molecular fingerprints, background


2. Generating molecular fingerprints with OpenBabel


3. Computing Tanimoto scores, quickly


4. Block Tanimoto calculations


5. Faster block Tanimoto calculations


6. HAKMEM 169 and other popcount implementations


7. Testing the bitslice algorithm for popcount
