20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store a plurality of instructions thereon, the plurality of instructions configured to, when executed: receive a parameter of a network; based on an identification of a general purpose code portion configured to produce a network object definition of at least one network object, generate a first set of machine code, the first set being consistent with the parameter; and based on an identification of a network design code portion, configured to cause the instantiation of individual ones of a plurality of network objects of the network based at least in part on the network object definition, generate a second set of machine code implemented in a specific hardware platform of a parallel network, the second set being consistent with the parameter, wherein the network object definition is characterized by at least a first memory location configured to store a reference to a code element corresponding to the general purpose code portion.
21. The computer-readable medium of claim 20 , wherein the general purpose code portion and the network design code portion comprise code rendered in an interpreted language.
