Or just do everything twice - if it really runs seven times faster than "today's best technology" than it shouldn't be an issue.

It's a very interesting idea...wish they had more details in the article.

You might have to do it far more than 7 times to converge on a suitably reliable answer... but perhaps precise recomputation could be deferred to off-hours, or lagged batch processing, or after disputes, etc.
