Read this tutorial to find out about MPI. I don't know anything about it either, so I can't answer any questions you may have.

MPI - Message Passing Interface. The link that AD provided is very good. The US national laboratories publish a lot of computer science stuff that is extremely useful. I like the CS pages of Oakridge National Lab (http://www.phy.ornl.gov/csep/) myself (great stuff on semi-numerical algorithms, random numbers, Monte Carlo routines, Finite Element Math, etc). MPI is used to help enable large-scale distributed computing. It supports distributing otherwise long-running computations over many systems. This is essential for modern physics research when they have to run the same computation against a gazillion (technical term for "a really large number") particles and observed interactions. FWIW, my wife is a particle physicist involved in computational physics at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. She knows this stuff like nobody's business! Me? I can use it (I do large-scale distributed computing also), but it isn't essential for my work. :-)
