I doubt that Kurzweil has truly been granted "unlimited" access to Google's resources. His title of "director of engineering" sounds impressive, but there's so far little indication he will be a very senior figure at the company.
Considering the resources given to something as standard as a team working on a better search algorithm, which is thousands of servers, I'm pretty sure he's going to have access to pretty much whatever he wants.
A petabyte of memory? Two hundred thousand cores? Done and done.
