hm. this makes me think back to something. did this supercomputer have all of its ram shared by all processors? or could it be emulated by a large enough number of machines given individual jobs, given that combining the results of those jobs isn't too complicated?
if so, i think that this would be ripe for BOINC -- at these time controls, there's no issue with latency, and there are clever ways to deal with people dropping off of the grid or giving intentionally bad information. and who wouldn't want to donate idle computer time to a project that was, say, sitting on KGS and kicking the crap out of decent players? lots of people sit on KGS and just simply watch. why not have those idle lurking watchers participate in the game as well, with their copious unused cycles? s.
