Open Magazine - Your strategic guide to Open Source

You don't have to be a researcher romping through n-dimensional 
hypercube topology to love Appro. This week, openBench Labs leaps into 64-bit 
compute space to discover something from Appro that will also appeal to 
the many ISVs out there constrained by the confines of server cages. We 
take a look at its HyperBlade Mini-Cluster and proceed with 
explorations on functionality and performance.

Meanwhile, to confirm how code on Wall Street is becoming as complex as 
code in Los Alamos, we talk to an executive at Etnus, purveyors of a 
debugger for complex code, who tells Open about the commercial companies 
knocking on their doors.
