Alternative multi-threading optimization languages that run on JVM besides Scala?

I am looking for alternatives or competitors to Scala strictly in regards to programming desktop apps on multiple cores. Whether using CPU or GPU cores (ScalaCL), I want to take advantage of all possible multi-threading performance. Scala is definitely a good choice, but I want to know what other options I can pursue. Running on the JVM is key for what I need.

If you like Groovy, you can also check out GPars, which offers Actors as well as Dataflow models.

You could always use Java with one of the "concurrency" libraries that provide Actor frameworks, STM etc. One that springs to mind is akka (http://akka.io/).

There's also the jCUDA http://www.jcuda.org/ library which might help with your requirement for GPU processing.
