Getting code to interior nodes? That is like being worried about not
knowing what is going on inside a compiler.

I had parpi running on actual chips, you know. The Intellasys chips.
There were a couple of pieces of code, and then you tell the
system which code runs on what node, and how they are connected.
The system communicated with a PC through a serial line.
in : lN
out : the number of primes under N (after a couple of mS.)

We didn't have to write the code to handle a serial line either,
would you have expected otherwise?

We (Leon Konings and I) have moved away from blocks,
and now use ascii source, with some (own) tools.
(Been mentioned before on this forum.)
