SIMD-vectorized implementation of the Viterbi algorithm for profile HMM alignment and introduced various other speed-ups. This accelerated HHsearch by a factor 4 and HHblits by a factor 2 over the previous version 2.0.16. HHblits3 is ~10x faster than PSI-BLAST and ~20x faster than HMMER3. Jobs to perform HHsearch and HHblits searches with many query profile HMMs can be parallelized over cores and over servers in a cluster using OpenMP and message passing interface (MPI).
