Really common usage in science/numerical computing.
I was trying to identify when, in normal usage, you'd say "numerical codes" rather than "numerical software" or just "numerical code". It seems a bit slippery!
Some contexts where it's prevalent: supercomputing, Fortran, national labs, large or multifaceted software. I also associate it with manager-speak ("our team has ported 77% of the simulation codes to HPSS").
