I doubt it. It used to be that things requiring a cluster of computers 20 years ago now runs on desktops while clusters and HPC systems run even bigger calculations.

With more power, memory, and storage, things will trickle down and new approaches will take their place.

In my research, it would be great if I could use an algorithm scaling at N^5 which gives high accuracy, but it’s too expensive for most N, so pretty much everyone uses an N^3 scaling approach which is less accurate.
