Motivation

Choosing a good, close to optimal, job configuration has many benefits, which include:

...

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1
#SBATCH --mem=3850G3850M
# ... other configuration directives

...

You can ask the scheduler to provide the estimated start time of your job. This can be done by issuing the "batch sbatch --test-only script.sh" command. This command doesn't submit the job, but it returns a pessimistic estimate of when the job will be started, keep in mind that it is just an estimate, and in most cases, the queue time will be shorter.
