How long will it take my job to start?

Job start times vary based on a number of criteria. These include

• the number of jobs in the queue
• the walltime of the queued jobs
• the number of jobs a user has run in the last week
• available system resources.

During busy times you may have to wait 2 or 3 days for your jobs to start.
If you think your job has been queued for an excessively long time, contact the Service Desk and let us know.
