Article Robert Cemper · Sep 11 3m read Code Scanner This story has followed me for more than 20 years. In the early days of ObjectScript, the volume of $Functions was limited.You had to write it as part of your program.But the functionality was often implemented. It just had no name.To use it, you had "system" calls using $ZU() functions. See Reference #ObjectScript #Video #Caché #Ensemble #InterSystems IRIS Open Exchange app 4 4 1 230

Article Robert Cemper · Jun 1 2m read Searching the limits of new datatype VECTOR Translated from the Spanish Community Article Contest. Following the latest programming contest on OEX I had some surprising observation.There were almost exclusive applications based on AI in combination with pre-cooked Py modules.But digging deeper, all examples used the same technical pieces of IRIS. Seen from point of view of IRIS it was pretty much the same whether searching for textor searching for images or other pattern. It ended in almost exchangeable methods. #ObjectScript #Vector Search #InterSystems IRIS 6 0 1 160

Article Robert Cemper · Apr 26 3m read Geo Vector Search #2 Technical surprises using VECTORs>>> UPDATED Building my tech. example provided me with a bunch of findings htt I want to share.The first vectors I touched appeared with text analysis and more than 200 dimensions.I have to confess that I feel well with Einstein's 4 dimensional world.7 to 15 dimensions populating the String Theory are somewhat across the border.But 200 and more is definitely far beyond my mathematical horizon. #ObjectScript #SQL #Vector Search #Video #InterSystems IRIS Open Exchange app 3 4 0 240

There is nothing special about that.But there is a set of functions that I classify as LEFT SIDED The specialty of them is that you can use them also on the left of the equal operator as a target in the SET command: set $somefunction(param1,param2, ...) = value #ObjectScript #SQL #Vector Search #InterSystems IRIS 5 3 1 244

Article Robert Cemper · Mar 5 2m read Columnar vs. Row Storage with IRIS native The idea of this package is to compare the performance of columnar storage inside IRIS without wrapping it to some foreign platform that is not my world In addition, I do not want to measure network performance between 2 containers, but inside a closed IRIS environment that I have fully under my control Even the use of SMP or some other browser-based presentation has some influence that I want to avoid. #Columnar Storage #ObjectScript #InterSystems IRIS Open Exchange app 3 2 0 151
