I thought of CGOS,  but CGOS is a terrible solutions for this specific thing
because it would have to be configured for a really long time control in
order to avoid time forfeits.   But it will not schedule a round until all
games are complete from the previous round so most computers would be idle
most of the time.   It would be better to have a system that keeps all
computers busy all of the time.

On the other hand,  that is a pretty simple way to do it but don't know if
we would have the patience for it ...

The previous study was good because it represented a huge amount of CPU
effort,  it was not just running a few games for a couple of days but it was
thousands of games played on 40 or 50 cores over a period of weeks.    I
don't think CGOS would be good for this.

I'm still thinking about how it might be done without a huge amount of
effort on my part - I would really like to do this study.

Let me ask the group this question:   How do you run automated testing under
CGOS conditions (other than using CGOS?)    What tools are available that
work under Linux?
