German KIT v Fighting Seawolves in student cluster deathmatch According to bettors, the upcoming ISC’12 Student Cluster Challenge in Hamburg will come down to a competition between home-country team KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and the New York-based Stony Brook University Fighting Seawolves.

A quick wiki gives:
Early when the Stony Brook Campus was located in Oyster Bay, the team was known as the Soundmen or Baymen. Throughout the 1960s when it moved to its present location, Stony Brook sport teams were known as the Stony Brook Patriots. In 1994 as Stony Brook anticipated a rise to Division I in the NCAA the nickname of the team was changed to its present one today, the Seawolves. The Seawolf was said to be a mythical creature from the Tlingit tribe which brought good luck to those able to see it.
Hey Brian....I hadn't thought of FPGA's - that's a very interesting idea, but the problem might be tuning or recompiling apps to take advantage of them. I'll ask the team coaches and competition organizers about it. The winners in the SC version of the competition in Seattle were fairly GPU heavy and it paid off for them.
I'll be sure to post as much of their actual configurations as I can get my hands on. That'll probably be up on Monday or Tuesday.

Yes and it also depends on whether those are "average" 13 amps, "directed average" 13 amps or RMS 13 amps, or whether a sinoidal form of the current is required.
It seems like you could get quite a bit more power out of a socket if you only were to consume power in non-standard and bad for the power network ways.
