I am performing a multi bigwig summary and a multibam summary using 3 bigwig files to plot correlation w.r.t ~5,500,000 regions(bed).
however the jobs been running since the past 2 days???I don’t know what is the hoopla about???can anyone help, please
Thanks,Isha
Hi @Isha_Singh
The job queue state (gray dataset) is using shared public resources. If the clusters appropriate for the job are busy, everything queues until there is a free node. Then some of your jobs run, then other peoples, then yours, repeat.
The job execution state (yellow dataset) means that the job is processing. Some tools are more compute intensive than others. Data sizes and plus parameters also impact runtime. The runtime in Galaxy would be similar to running the tool directly with the same resources.
If you are curious about the inputs, resource allocation, and execution/runtime details, click into the Dataset Details 
view for any dataset output for a job. Some details will be available in any job state, and once completed full details will be presented. The public Galaxy servers have significant but not infinite resources that serve a global community 
Consider using the setting on the job form to get a notification for longer running work. And definitely explore using workflows – jobs will all queue at the same time, and execute as resources become available. That can significantly improve total runtime.
If you ever think a job in the execution state is taking too long, you can either let it complete (usually best) or ask us here to review. A history share link would be the best way to get feedback about that. Analysis Troubleshooting
