This is a good article.

I built a tiny cluster in my basement (a prototype) and looked at MPI and decided that it was way to complicated, so I just built something that pushes the essential bits, pretty much without abstraction, to the nodes and was done. The cluster is a very specific solution, so I felt justified in not looking at MPI. And now the decision feels even more justified.
