<p class="MsoNormal">Hi and thanks for reading this!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to estimate the queue time of a job of a certain size and walltime limit. I am doing this because our project considers multiple HPC resources and needs estimated queue time information to decide where to actually submit the
job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From the man page of ‘sbatch’, I found that the “test-only” option can be used to “validate the batch script and return an estimate of when a job would be scheduled to run given the current job queue and all the other arguments specifying
the job requirements”. This looks very promising to us.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried several launches in IU BigRed3 and TACC Stampede2 HPCs, the recorded results are shown below. (the last two columns are the estimated queue time and actual queue time). From the results, it looks like the estimated time is quite
inaccurate (can be either over-estimated or under-estimated):<o:p></o:p></p>
