FYI,

Although Wikipedia says "Originally developed by Donald Becker at
NASA", the original Beowulf HOWTO
(http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/archive/Beowulf-HOWTO.html)
mentions "Tom Sterling, Don Becker, and other people at NASA who
started the Beowulf project.", and the Beowulf history page
(http://www.beowulf.org/overview/history.html) mentions them both as
well.
