Octave itself doesn't directly support parallel calculations. However, it can be 
built linking against scalapack - search the mail lists for messages about that. 
 I don't recall ever having seen performance results for that approach.

Binding functions for PVM and MPI also exist - see

I have used MPITB quite a bit, and I like it a lot. Now for a little propaganda: 
The ParallelKnoppix live CD has Octave 2.1.73, octave forge and MPITB installed, 
along with some examples.
