I'm not sure this is really a paralellized version of the algorithm. I just 
heard a talk by the head of Turbo Genomics and he emphasized the advantage
of sticking to the original BLAST program and run multiple instances of it on
a bunch of machines instead of modifying the algorithm because that way
you don't have to keep up with improvements to the original algorithm yourself.
