# Your Compute Needs

I am Benjamin Starostka Jakobsen, the P1 compute coordinator, and this survey is how I get to know
the people using our partitions. I want to hear what you are actually trying to run, what you need
from HPC, and where the current systems get in your way. Entirely optional.

**Form:** [Your Compute Needs survey](https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/Np1yaVKBup)

## What I do with your answers

I read every response myself. They shape what I raise with the HPC teams at DTU, NGC, and Gefion,
what we prioritise when partitions are renewed, and which topics turn into
[events](/events/) and training.

If your answers suggest a conversation would help more than a form, I will get in touch and we can
talk it through. That consultation is part of the role, and it costs you nothing.

## Prefer to just ask

You do not have to fill in anything to get help. Mail me at
[bstja@dtu.dk](mailto:bstja@dtu.dk), or find the compute community in
`#compute` and `#ask-compute` on the P1 Slack. The survey exists because patterns across many
researchers tell me things a single conversation cannot, not because it is a gate in front of
support.
