[vhdl-200x] Parallel execution of procedures within sequentiel statements

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask this question:
Is it possible to execute procedures in process in parallel? What I have in mind would be something like this:

....
procedure my_proc
  (signal din : in std_logic_vector;
   signal dout : out std_logic) is
begin
  -- procedure statements
  ...
  wait for 8 ns;
  ...
end my_proc;

signal sig1, sig2: std_logic_vector (31 downto 0);
signal data1, data2: std_logic;

begin
  ...
  simulation_proc: process
  begin
    ...
    -- the following two processes should be started in parallel
    -- begin parallel (
      my_proc(sig1, data1);
      my_proc(sig2, data2);
    -- )
    -- end parallel;
    -- end parallel block
    wait;
  end process simulation;
...

The idea behind this is that I want to start the processes like threads in other programming languages. If I write the code like this in a process at first "my_proc(sig1, data1);" would be started, then the simulator would wait 8 ns in that procedure and after that time the procedure "my_proc(sig2, data2);" would be started, where the simulator would wait for another 8 ns;
