Abstract

We present a static text index called Move-r, which is a highly optimized version of the r-index ([Travis Gagie et al., 2020] Gagie et al., 2020) that encorporates recent theoretical developments of the move data structure ([Takaaki Nishimoto and Yasuo Tabei, 2021] Nishimoto and Tabei, 2021). The r-index is the method of choice for indexing highly repetitive texts, such as different versions of a text document or DNA from the same species, as it exploits the compressibilty of the underlying data. With Move-r, we can answer count- and locate queries 2-35 (typically 15) times as fast as with any other r-index supporting locate queries while being 0.8-2.5 (typically 2) times as large. A Move-r index can be constructed 0.9-2 (typically 2) times as fast while using 1/3-1 (typically 1/2) times as much space.
