Hi Glen:
BLAST uses mmap'ed IO. This has some interesting ... interactions

for what its worth, we use Paracel BLAST and are also considering
mpiBLAST-pio to take advantage of a parallel file system
Cool. mpiBLAST also uses mmap'ed IO though. That hasn't changed. They
just spread the IO to each process to take advantage of the parallel
file systems.
We have a nice RPM build for mpi-BLAST-pio that a number of folks are
using. You can grab it from
http://downloads.scalableinformatics.com/downloads/mpiblast/ . And a
shameless plug for mpiHMMer: http://www.mpihmmer.org/ while we are at it :)
