Yes and yes. I used Titan for my research in grad school. There’s dozens of researchers waiting for as much compute power as is available. Tasks like quantum Monte Carlo simulation make extremely accurate chemical predictions but require a massive amount of compute power to do so. You may think, well just design a better algorithm, but we’re starting to run up against the limits of computational complexity. Further fundamental improvement for simulating fermion systems accurately would require quantum computing.
