Abstract: Utilization of WUT Eden Cluster - User's QuestionnaireA 41-item questionnaire sent to 50 active users of the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) Eden cluster, yielding 33 valid responses (66% response rate).Responses were gathered from October to November 2025.<br><b>Ad-hoc and individualized workloads.</b>Only 24% users <i>often</i> run replication packages, while 46% <i>rarely</i> or <i>never</i> do. This highlights the need for adaptive Software Engineering tools - such as environment introspection, configuration linting, and lightweight profilers that can analyze arbitrary user scripts without prior setup. Semgrep or opengrep static analysis can be only a part of this process.<b>Awareness gap.</b>Although queues are often congested, only 29% of users <i>often</i> monitor GPU utilization, and 47% do so <i>rarely</i> or <i>never</i>. Many assume "the scheduler ensures efficiency", or lack convenient metrics during long runs. Thus, inefficiency persists unnoticed - not from unwillingness, but from missing feedback.<b>Conditional readiness.</b>Users express motivation to improve: 88% would adjust configurations if inefficiency was detected, 76% rated dashboards as <i>useful</i>, and 82% valued training materials. The issue is therefore not resistance but the absence of mechanisms.
