  <font size=+1> AUSTIN, Texas -- Although visual parallel programming environments are not new, the unusually simple and direct techniques employed by the University of Texas' <a href="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/code">CODE</a> (Computationally Oriented Display Environment), an abstract declarative graphical environment for parallel programming, promises not only a different but also a much more effective approach to the entire task. Within the CODE environment, a parallel program is a directed graph, where data flows on arcs connecting nodes representing sequential programs. </font> <p>
