Node Number on the
Performance of a Beowulf Super Computer Joey used Linux operating
system to linked 24 of the lab's computers into a Beowulf system so that
they functioned as though they were a single super computer. For a period
of time Southside had the fastest high school computer system in the
world. This project received media attention from local radio TV and
newspapers.

Honorable Mention Overall, 4 special awards. Attended
the Intel International Science fair as an observer. Although Joey did
not have the chance to display his project it received media attention
from radio, television, and newspaper. His project was a major factor
