Wonder if anyone's done automated VM spinup (eg AWS) to do exhaustive test of double functions?

How many CPUs you want to spin up? With a million cores it might take a week or longer. Possible, but pricey.

Yeah I was thinking you'd need rough order of magnitude of 1M cores to do it in reasonable time.
