Presumably you mean something like, "Is there a python implementation
that can run multiple compute-bound processes on multiple cores
concurrently."

Some options:
- the multiprocessing module in the std lib - here is an example of
using it with numpy:

- Jython and IronPython both have threading models that allow multiple
threads to run concurrently on multiple processors.
