I wonder what the chances are of a cosmic ray or some stray radiation causing AlphaGo to have problems. It's quite a rare event, but when you have 1920 CPUs and 280 GPUs, it might up the probability enough to be something you have to worry about.

I would expect them to be running on Google's distributed infrastructure which has error corrections through end to end checksums

Actually they were running on a single PC!

"Using distributed for match but single machine AG very strong also"

Doesn't this imply they weren't using a single PC?

They're using the distributed version for these matches, this question was just asked in the post match press conference.
