Reasons to want threads and MPI together

  *  Algorithms consisting of multiple weakly-coupled tasks, each
     task amenable to parallelism; the amount of processor resources
     appropriate to each task cannot be accurately forecast or changes
     over the course of a run.

  *  Machine architectures consisting of cluster of processors, one
     shared memory space per cluster.
