I'm designing an interpeter that runs on several processors in a
distributed environment.   That is, instead of the interpreter being one
monolithic controlling program, the interpreter(s) is/are actually several
pieces spread around a number of processors all interacting with each
other, giving you real parallelism instead of quasi-parallelism (among
other things).  This idea appears to be relatively unusual, in that I haven't 
seen it described before.  So does anybody know of anything similar?  In
particular I'm looking for references for any similar systems, for any
language.
