I very much doubt it. If you read the paper, it took each of the things it could measure (memory, disk, network, etc) and measured bandwidth and latency. Those are pretty basic measurements and I suspect that they will still be interesting 100 years from now and measured in the same way.
I'm running the benchmark right now on a modern system just to see what it says. Yep, still works fine:
"size=0k ovr=0.90
2 7.63
4 6.51
8 7.78
16 7.07
24 7.78
32 9.02
64 10.35
96 10.49
That says that a hot potato (I send a byte to you, you send it back to me, the time is the round trip for one pair) context switch is ~7 usecs. Do it in a ring with 96 processes and it goes up to ~10 usecs.
I think almost 100% of that benchmark is still valid (I say almost because there must be something that has bit rotted in 20+ years but I don't know of anything). It's worth a read.
