How can I find out how long my slurm job took to execute?

Question

One idea I have to find out how long my slurm job is taking is to use

squeue --job <myid>

How do I find out how long my job took to complete though once the job is complete?

I cannot actually create a slurm tag because my rep is not high enough, but is how I would have tagged it had I the ability to — demongolem, Nov 2, 2014 at 0:22

Use the sacct command:

sacct -l -j <myid>

and look for the 'elapsed' column

+1, but more information here. The output of -l didn't fit in my window, so a minimal output is sacct --format="Elapsed" -j <myid>.

Does this include the Slurm overhead?

sacct -j <myid> --format=Elapsed

is a very succinct way to show this (Thanks to Sparhawk & damienfrancois for these suggestions, I thought I'd suggest this as a full answer).

Adding on previous answers, if you didn't save the JobID, you can use:

sacct --format=JobID,JobName,State,Elapsed

This will give you the last jobs, its state (RUNNING, FAILED, COMPLETE...) and the time it took (Elapsed).

You can then grep for those that have been completed, or those with a given JobName
