Yes. You can run on a single machine that has multiple CPUs. You can
actually run as many threads as you want on any given node, but it usually
does not make sense to run more threads than you have CPUs.

You can also run on multiple systems, with no need to differentiate between
master and slave (at least from an MPI perspective). They do need to be
connected so messages can be passed to one another, and the faster the
interconnect, the better the scaling will be.
