Molecular modeling often involves computationally intensive tasks, like protein structure prediction or molecular dynamics simulations. While essential, managing these workloads can be challenging, especially when operating at scale or collaborating across teams. This is where the Job manager in SAMSON shines, simplifying the process of managing cloud-based computations.
Why use the Job manager?
The Job manager is a tool designed to help you handle computational tasks executed in the cloud efficiently. It facilitates interaction with cloud services for extensions such as AlphaFold or GROMACS, ensuring you can create, monitor, and retrieve results without unnecessary complexity.
Here’s a quick overview of what you can achieve with the Job manager:
- Job Creation: Launch calculations directly from SAMSON for supported extensions like AlphaFold or NVIDIA BioNeMo.
- Lifecycle Control: Start, pause, or stop cloud computations and ensure efficient management of resources.
- Result Retrieval: Access all job outputs seamlessly within SAMSON as soon as they’re ready.
Seamless Monitoring and Customization
With the Job manager, keeping track of your work is straightforward. Clicking on a specific job displays its details on the right panel, including logs and progress. This offers granular insights into which steps are complete or ongoing.
You can also personalize your workflow by renaming jobs or adding notes directly within the Job manager. These updates are automatically synced with your SAMSON Connect account, ensuring you never lose track of key information.
Access All Files Easily
Once your computations are complete, the Job manager provides multiple avenues for file access. Double-clicking on a job allows you to download all job files instantly. For added flexibility, the context menu lets you differentiate between local files (those already downloaded), remote files (stored in the cloud), and the job’s overview in SAMSON Connect.
Collaboration Made Simple
For larger teams or multi-disciplinary projects, the SAMSON platform streamlines collaboration. Jobs executed in the cloud are linked to your SAMSON Connect account, where you can control their visibility and share them with colleagues as needed. This centralization ensures everyone stays on the same page, boosting overall efficiency.
