Doug,
Thanks. That's exactly what I suspected. I think it's a shame Don isn't
getting recognized for his contribution. I guess his paygrade wasn't
high enough.

Thomas managed the project
Jim provided the funds
Don was the main engineer who made it happen

It would be great if someone made a short documentary video

Thanks for sharing. Is anyone else disappointed to not see Don Becker on
that list? I don't mean to rain on Jim Fischer,'s parade, or his
contribution to the project - I know nothing about him or his role in
the project. When I ever I hear someone talk about the first Beowulf
cluster, the two names I always hear mentioned are Thomas Sterling and
Don Becker, and they've been singled out as the creators of Beowulf many
times (at the BeoBash on the 25th anniversary of Beowulf, for example).
I've never heard of Jim Fischer before.
