Support for native multi processing?

In my research group we are, among several other things, developing
simulators for behavior coordination in robotics. In the simulators we are
evolving behavior coordination solutions which is computationally heavy and
requires powerful computers.

We write all of our software in Borland-Delphi and wish to continue doing
so. One way to handle the computational demand is to use multi-processor
machines and write the programs to parallelize some parts of the algorithms.
Using threads is one way and using native multi processing, similar to
OpenMP (www.openmp.org), is another interesting approach.

My question to this newsgroup is if anyone knows if Borland Delhpi supports
native MP or SMP (I have tried to ask them but without success) or if there
are any third-party Delphi-products supporting such functionality?

Yours sincerily,
