cirq_google.engine.estimate_run_batch_time

Compute the estimated time for running a batch of programs.

cirq_google.engine.estimate_run_batch_time(
    programs: Sequence[cirq.AbstractCircuit],
    params_list: List[cirq.Sweepable],
    repetitions: int = 1000,
    latency: float = _BASE_LATENCY
) -> float

This should approximate, in seconds, the time for the execution of a batch of circuits using Engine.run_batch() on QCS at a time where there is no queue (such as a reserved slot). This estimation should be considered a rough approximation. Many factors can contribute to the execution time of a circuit, and the run time can also vary as the service's code changes frequently.

programs a sequence of circuits to be executed
params_list a parameter sweep for each circuit
repetitions number of repetitions to execute per parameter sweep
latency Optional latency to add (defaults to 1.5 seconds)
