You could start by building your custom wrapper for hashcat/oclhashcat.
The cats themselves support password distribution through -s and -l flags, so the wrapper would need to simply utilize that.
Once you get that done and know how things generally work, you could begin writing your own software for the actual hash cracking, but:
1. Hashcat EULA doesn't forbid using it in custom projects.
2. Oclhc is so optimized it's the fastest multi-purpose solution for hash cracking; if speed matters, stick with it.
3. Coding a hash cracker in CUDA/OpenCL from scratch is no easy undertaking, could take a while. If time is of the essence, stick to cats.
As for using MPI or other software for distribution, I can't really offer any advice.
