Just like you are doing it now to run processes on the cpu server. 
But you'll keep your `cron' process running forever. 

The only bad point I see is that a cpu server reboot will drop your
cron entries.

How are you doing that to run your process on your cpu sever?  IMHO it
can be done the same way. But, as I said, I may be missing something.
