My anecdote here is power system simulations. Twenty years ago a three second time domain simulation would take hours; engineers would leave them to run overnight. What used to take two hours of computer time for one second of results is now about 40 seconds of computer time. Instead of running overnight I now have results in less time than it takes to get a cup of coffee.I shudder to think of the monstrous powerhouses of the future
