You can get the estimated nodes from squeue by using the "%Y"
(SCHEDNODES) display option. It will give you what the backfill
scheduler's current guess is on what nodes the job will run on.
If you come up with a process to display which jobs are the reason for
blocking the start of another job, I would be interested in that as well.

Estimated nodes for queued jobs
With srun --test-only you can get the estimated start date and
estimated nodes.
However, when the job is submitted, squeue --start only shows you the
estimated start date, but not the estimated nodes.
How do I get these information for submitted and queued jobs? Is there
any chance I can get more details about the whole scheduling process
(backfill)?
I would like to know, what jobs are the reason for the delay of
others. If I get the estimated nodes via squeue or some other
function, I can calculate it myself. Otherwise it seems to be quite
hard to collect all the information by yourself (if you have lots of
partitions)
Is there anything available?
Thanks!
