Look at my library: https://github.com/tnodir/luasys
There are examples in test folder.

You can use thread.runvm() to start independent OS thread of LuaState
or thread.run() for cooperative OS thread inside Lua State.

There is scheduler to run coroutines on top of pool of OS threads inside Lua State.
OS threads used for blocking system calls.
