Well, I have access to that machine: https://www.grid5000.fr/

But it is not so easy to scale a Monte-Carlo algorithm to work on a 
large cluster. SMP with fast access to shared memory is very easy. 
Finding a way to efficiently distribute UCT over a fast network looks 
like a fun research project.
