[Beowulf] UPS system for Linux cluster

[Tom Pierce]

Dear Vlad,

I did a similar project last fall. The only unpleasant surprise is
that most UPS are capable of running continuously at 80% of their kVA
value.   So you may want a larger system.

You can get more current when you go to a three phase UPS system.
