The MPI allows multiple nodes to share resources using message-passing-based communication. The operations performed by the computer for communication are atomic or it is said that the processes are performing in the same order. When a sender transmits a message to a receiver, it is said that the message is send and when the receiver receives the message it is said that the message is received. Nodes within the computer communicate over message queues, which is a shared memory. In this section, we introduce the concepts of message passing interface (MPI), OpenMP and tasks. The OpenMP provides a parallel programming model using the OpenMP directives. These directives can be used to specify parallel operations and parallelism. A task is a collection of a block of statements that is divided into processes. OpenMP tasks can be parallelized and can be divided into domains.
Introduction
The message passing interface (MPI) has been developed by the Communications Research Center in the University of Southern California and is a standard communication interface for distributed memory computing. This standard communication protocol is widely used in the production of many large-scale parallel computers. It is now considered to be an industry-standard that should be used for communication in all parallel computer systems. The MPI provides a reliable, deterministic, and scalable distributed programming model for communication between processes across multiple computational nodes. With the arrival of the recent wave of high-performance computational systems, the MPI has emerged as a de-facto standard to be used with such systems. A communication process is used to communicate data between different nodes of the distributed memory system. The MPI allows multiple nodes to share resources using message passing-based communication. There are three general components in the MPI model: the user, the MPI library, and the MPI manager. The MPI manager is an abstraction that the MPI application uses to communicate between different nodes. The user passes information through a user program. This program may be written in any language supported by the MPI library. A user program may include several process defined using the MPI library. The user program and the MPI library interact to implement the communication process and the synchronization between the processes. The user program may be written using a compiler that supports the MPI.
The message passing library is a central component of the MPI specification. The library provides an abstraction that is used by all MPI programs. The MPI library allows users to write MPI programs using their favorite programming language. Once the program is written, it 01e38acffe

Unsurprisingly, the answer to your question is "no". A lot of what you are trying to get at here is the answer to this question.
Systems Concepts And Design
...
Abstracting from specifics to the above scenarios, distributed
operating systems at a higher level usually assume three things:
Multiplicity of node interactions: i.e. any two nodes can interact with each other. In such systems, any node can act as a client and any other can act as a server
Interaction happens through network of nodes.
The concept of client and server is not defined in
terms of any node's real role or functionality, but in terms of
interaction.
Single point of maintenance: The data is maintained at one place only (point of maintenance), in the system. For example, if a person wants to create a new web page on a site
(known as a service) or wants to update the data on a site, she
does not need to interact with any other client or server. She
can just go to her own site and just update or create the data.
In such systems, the user of the system is the point of
maintenance
Privacy of data: The data is private and only accessed by a user. Data is stored locally at one place, not exchanged. If there is an unauthorized access
to data, that is accessed at any place, the security of the
system is compromised.
A conceptual model for development and implementation: A conceptual model is a design model for software systems and is usually defined in a high-level
manner. A common framework or an architecture for such systems
helps in defining the conceptual model.
He also mentions things like:
The system is kept modular: i.e. the development of new functionalities should be done separately from the existing functionalities.
The system should be scalable: i.e. the system should be able to
handle large numbers of users.
The system should provide isolation: i.e. the users should not be able to
interfere with each other's operations.
There should be high availability: i.e. even in case of a system
failure
