I want to be able to run a two month test for the most promising beta that is produced each week. So ten cpus should be enough. They should be as cheap as possible (celerons maybe) with no more than 256 MB each. I imagine that they all could connect to a main computer through a simple network that is not one of the ten. In my fantasy they do not have keyboards or monitors and only have cheap small capasity harddrives. All ten are controlled from the main computer and any beta can be assigned very easily to any of the ten cpus for testing. And it is a MS Windows system (really).
Is this just pure fantacy or can it be done? And for how much? |
You should have a look at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/.
Then try to convince a large site with many computers to run such a system for you.
There are more than 1000 computers doing almost nothing at night in my hospital.
I often dreamed having them performing silent chess analyses for me...
But I did not dare so far to ask the computing team 
... Sure they would reject it for security and cost reasons
