Currently the parallel index sets uses MPI underneath for the
communication. The aim of this project is to add support for threads
as replacement if MPI is not available or a cobination of threads (on
the nodes) and MPI (between the nodes). This means the routines for
exchanging messages have to be implemented using threads. 

If you have an MPI background this is an asset, but of course you need
to learn thread programming for this task.

Cheers,

Markus
