Managing complex molecular modeling computations in the cloud can sometimes feel overwhelming, but SAMSON’s Job Manager provides an intuitive way to handle these tasks efficiently. Whether you are running protein structure predictions using AlphaFold, molecular dynamics simulations with GROMACS, or utilizing NVIDIA BioNeMo services, the Job Manager helps streamline your workflow.
What is the Job Manager?
The Job Manager in SAMSON is a central tool that allows you to organize and track your cloud-based computational jobs. With it, you can create, execute, monitor, and retrieve results from cloud jobs, all within the SAMSON interface.
To access the Job Manager, simply navigate to Interface > Job Manager. This feature ensures that your cloud computations are under control with a user-friendly interface.
Key Features
Here’s what the Job Manager can do for you:
- Create jobs directly from SAMSON for extensions that support cloud computations.
- Start, pause, or stop jobs and monitor their progress in real-time.
- Retrieve results back into SAMSON seamlessly for further analysis.
- View detailed information about each job on the right side of the Job Manager interface.

Advanced Control Options
The Job Manager also offers advanced options, such as:
- Editing job names and notes while syncing them automatically with your SAMSON Connect account, ensuring all your work stays organized and accessible.
- Downloading all files related to your computations directly by double-clicking the job.
- Using a context menu for quick access to local files, remote files stored in the cloud, or the job view on the SAMSON Connect platform.


Collaboration and Sharing
The Job Manager makes collaboration easier by integrating tightly with SAMSON Connect. After running cloud jobs (e.g., with GROMACS or AlphaFold), you can control who has access to these jobs and even share them with colleagues. SAMSON ensures your team stays connected and productive.
For a detailed guide on tasks like sharing jobs, you can refer to the SAMSON documentation page: Viewing and sharing jobs on SAMSON Connect.
