Yes, iForth is designed to run on multi-core processors.
It uses OCCAM-like language extensions to do this. (Several
examples have been published in CLF.) The performance 
scales quite well with the number of CPU cores, and is more
than sufficient to e.g. allow writing time-critical FP 
plugins for audio processing (e.g. fjack). All in 
high-level Forth of course.
