imo, it's pretty clear from the contrast to MapReduce – Georg Muehlenberg Mar 30 '18 at 14:38

For an explanation of what MPI is, see this question. For an explanation of what MapReduce is, please see this question.
There are some differences between both. MPI is a standardized API that has multiple implementations such as OpenMPI or MPICH. MapReduce is mostly a programming paradigm that has a vast amounf of implementations in different programming and database languages.
