Luddy Harrison (at Center for Supercomputing Research and Development, 
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) had written a automatic parallizing
compiler for Scheme, running on shared-memory multiprocessors. A reference
describes his work at length is:
  
  [Har90] Williams Ludwell Harrison III, The interprocedural analysis and
          automatic parallelization of scheme programs, in Lisp and Symbolic
          Computation: an International Journal, 2(3), 1989.
