I'm also wanting to explore this area; making Lua programs "parallel" in the way that it's easy for the programmer to use either real (separate Lua states) multitasking, and/or the already existing co-operative model. All it needs is a little module, passing messages between the Lua states. Such do exist, but there's no established convention or "king of the hill" (as LuaSocket is for networking). I plan to throw in my own card, early next year, as the Andes IDE will be based upon the multicore/parallel execution/N Lua states idea. The module will be extremely light, and based on serializing/deserializing data constructs, providing messages queues and so. Already saw there are alternatives, but none exactly fitting this "processor-internal" bill. Please prove me wrong?

You may be interested in Erlang (http://www.erlang.org/) then.
