Perhaps it will interest yous http://runtime.bordeaux.inria.fr/StarPU/
Just tried it - excellent build from source code in FreeBSD CURRENT.
There's an initial port of x10-lang
http://x10-lang.org/ It's a language developed by
IBM that output to C++ or Java source code when
compiled with distributed/cluster ala OpenMPI
included. Last version adds Cuda output inside c++ backend.
