A couple of Parallel Lisps that spring to mind OTHER than *Lisp (and
which are emminently less tied to a particular architecture) are:

- Robert Halstead's MultiLisp (in which futures were first implemented);

- Gary Sabot's Paralation Lisp (data parallel/collection oriented extensions
  to a base language -- although I don't think any full robust
  implementations have ever been produced);

You might also want to look for Lisps with Linda's tuple space extensions.
We had one based on EuLisp that used PVM a while back but the Linda
code is way out of date now. Have a look at

http://www.bath.ac.uk/~masjap/denton.html

for details of EuLisp (it still has a PVM interface).
