Hi Benjamin, When using the public Main instance at usegalaxy.org (https://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/root), wait times can vary, even for the same exact job. It just depends how busy we are, what the other jobs queued/running are like (how much resource they require), and related factors. But giving our user community a general idea of how busy the public resource is a good idea. Our team has reviewed this idea before, and there are some technical considerations around giving a precise estimate, but a generalized idea may be possible. This is still in discussion. Meanwhile, you can always write in if you have a question. Right now the server is busy, and reported delays have been up to a few days, but I think these are longer for people that are deleting/restarting jobs. If you start a job and just let it run (stay in the queue to move up in line and then execute when a processing window opens), this wait time should be less than 24 hrs for most mapping/NGS jobs, and smaller local jobs (Text Manipulation, etc.) are starting almost immediately in many cases, from my experience. Hopefully this helps, Jen Galaxy team On 5/14/13 2:50 AM, Benjamin Leblanc wrote:

Hello,

I am new user to galaxy and I was wondering if there is a way to estimate the average delay before execution of currently submitted jobs in galaxy?
