Description

Since GitHub hosted runners (the machines that actually execute CI builds and tests) don't have GPUs for free, we are unable to run many potentially useful tests on Hyrax.

GitHub supports self-hosted runners:
- Creating one: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/manage-runners/self-hosted-runners/add-runners
- Overview: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/runners/self-hosted-runners

We could set up a self-hosted runner on a department machine such as Gondor (though we should check what machine makes the most sense) and use that to run a nightly/weekly smoke test.

Once the self-hosted runner is setup, we should implement at least 1 test that exercises it.
