I was looking on Roedy Green's site about Azul servers that cost around 3/4
million dollars and it occurred to me that one of those would be really nice
to play solitaire on.

I worked on a project called Athena Integer some years ago that ran
out of money. I was a multithreaded, multiuser spread***. My old
boss is reviving the project. One of the interesting discoveries is
spread*** logic can often be implemented multithreaded with
non-interfering threads. Back then we did benchmarks on a spread***
with 256-cpu machine.
