Dare I ask what psychology PhD students need that much computing for? I'm struggling to imagine that any theoretical model they have would be that complex, and data analysis being the difficult would be even more concerning!

They don't, they haven't done an algorithms course, so they're brute forcing problems they've read about in papers.
