Years ago when I bought my Power Mac G4 I had to sign an agreement because at the time it met the definition of a super computer.
I really can’t the details but basically it could handle enough operations per cycle to do certain nuclear calculations in real time. I had to agree that I wouldn’t sell it to an unapproved nation.
Section 3
(d) The Department of Energy shall provide such funding and administrative and technical support as the Committee may require.
Department of Energy's most attributable clearance level with regards to nuclear energy is "Q" clearance.
Why does the Department of Energy get a say in matters of computer technology funding?
