My questions is, i need to install MPI on 4 linux pc's?
Whether i need to run the same MPI application on 4 linux pc's?
Yes, you need to have MPI installed on all 4 machines, or have it
available via a networked filesystem (such as NFS). These FAQ
categories may help some:

It is certainly easiest if you run the same executable on all 4
machines.
If you're very new to MPI, you might want to take a tutorial to learn
some of the basics. If you scroll down in http://ci-tutor.ncsa.uiuc.edu/browse.php
, you'll see an "Introduction to MPI" tutorial on that site
(registration is free).
