The following illustration shows the current planning of the Hunter installation. Please note that the schedule is subject to change.
we are pleased to provide early user access to Hawk.  
 
Please note that the system is still far from production status in terms of stability / performance / configuration / usage.
* Both the node configuration (such as numa domains per socket) and the InfiniBand configuration are not yet final und both will be subject to change.
* This means that the performance of the system is not optimal. It also implies that the users should not yet attempt an optimization of their applications based on the current setup.
* No monitoring system active, this may cause failed jobs if compute nodes break down and will be part of subsequent jobs


The usage is granted under the following conditions:
[[File:240614-Hunter-Timeline.jpg|thumb|Installation planning as of June 2024]]
* Do not publish performance measurements of the current system configuration
* Do not monopolize the system. Give other users the opportunity to use the system. Avoid long running jobs.
* If you encounter problems, please report this to the prepared Trouble Ticket System via email to:
    rt-platform-hawk@hlrs.de
* Due to the current state of the system, your application may not yet be operational. In this case, please wait a few more days. The system will be improved very quickly.
