It's not Octave, but rather MATLAB.  However, this company makes a
software product which allows you to run MATLAB programs on a parallel
computer without requiring extensive changes to your code:

Both data-parallel and task-parallel styles of parallel processing are
supported by their product.  They may be what you are looking for.
