No.  Many modern MPI implementations can be compiled with support for Grid 
Engine providing the sophisticated
PE interface referred to.  There are also HOWTOs floating around on the web for 
integrating various older parallel libraries
with Grid Engine.  Most boil down to ways of getting the parallel code to 
launch slave processes via qrsh -inherit.   It is possible 
that Oracle had some integrations for libraries for which there isn't a working 
public HOWTO but in any case they've now handed over 
responsibility for support to Univa.  IIRC Univa bundle a bunch of parallel 
library integrations with their Univa Grid Engine product.
