Time scaling of NWChem


Clicked A Few Times
I am doing TDDFT calculations for (80+61=)141 atoms and in total, around 7000 electrons. How to know the approximate time required for this calculation using 1,2 or 3 nodes having 8 processors (Intel Xeon E5440, 2.83GHz) each?

My input code is --

I want to know the time requirement so that I can choose different basis set or increase the number of nodes as per my requirement.
