I know nothing about this (I write debuggers not genomes), but folks
seemed to be asking about running Blast in parallel, so this may be
worth getting into the list archive.

This from LWN (www.lwn.net/2001/0503/commerce.php3)
  
  TurboGenomics releases TurboBLAST. TurboGenomics has announced the
  release of TurboBLAST, a genetic sequencing tool. This product may
  be one of the first commercial packages for Beowulf clusters:
  "Initial benchmarks of TurboBLAST on a network of 11 commodity PCs
  running Linux reduced a month-long BLAST run to just two
  days. Greater speed-up of BLAST is achieved simply by adding more
  machines to the TurboBLAST system."

The press release is at
