I'm pretty sure we had parallel readers and writers in Parsytec's PARIX environments back in the early 90s (I would have been using it from around 92-94). This ran on transputer hardware and had a 'parallel shell' which supported odd piping syntax to describe a network of processes that it would farm out on the hardware.
Fairly niche, and I don't have a manual to hand, and I didn't use that aspect of it except as a toy - the Solaris workstations we had sitting around were much faster and the extra though you had to put in to parallelise shell scripts wasn't really justified.
