take a look here. The NSA doesn't have the best computers at all, of course it is not public about what clusters they have in their buildings but I
doubt they will have faster clusters as any of the TOP5 in the top500.
If you want to join NSA, CIA or Secret Service you need to stand a polygraphic test which lasts about 7h and will test your integrity. A background
check on all upcoming employees is usual - even in big companies.
Just to tell you, their eletric bill is 31 million dollars a year.
That's not much at all. I know they tell on their website they are the biggest or 2nd biggest electricity user in their region but as they are pretty
alone in their region it's nothing special at all
And such a bill is easily there when you have 2000 employees and everyone with its own computer and display.
