Visit from Donald Becker and Erik Hendriks (8 October 1999)

On October 8, 1999, Donald Becker and Erik Hendriks of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) visited the Stone SouperComputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Donald and Erik, now at Scyld Computing Corporation, were a part of the original Beowulf Project which started in the summer of 1994 with the assembly of a 16 node cluster. The project's scope and the number of Beowulf installations have since grown at an increasing rate, particularly at R&D laboratories and universities. Donald is probably best known for his work on device drivers, particularly for network cards, for Linux. Erik has developed a number of useful utilities for the art of Beowulfing.
