Jini is not the technology that you need.

The main problem you will have will be the size of your matrices, which I assume to be large enough that copying them around would not be a sensible thing to be doing. This means that the threads of execution should all have access to the same memory. To the best of my knowledge, Jini copies all of the objects instance variables and sends them across the network to the object pools for service, not something to be done with large matrices. However, locally within a thread, its instance variables can be shared with subthreads, so rewriting your problem as a threaded application under Java is certainly feasible, but then you will have to deal with asynchronous coordination of the threads. You are probably better sticking with MPI and letting it solve these problems for you, which it was designed to do.
