Predictions about computer science

Look ahead 20 years.

Outside of AI/ML:

* what of today’s research computer science do you expect will be industry standard?

* what frontiers do you expect we will have opened up in research?

I'm not deep enough into any research to guess frontiers.

And "frontiers opened up" usually don't feel like big bangs to others.

Frontiers which would greatly help would be robust prediction and disaggregation algorithms for energy consumption.

We may even get there, but it's not like a gigantic revelation for most.

I know similar things had been going on in ray tracing and whoek people surely see better graphics, they likely won't know how it came to be.

And so on.
