Molecular modeling is an exciting field, but managing cloud-based calculations can sometimes feel challenging. Whether you are running protein structure predictions or molecular dynamics simulations, keeping your jobs organized and retrieving results efficiently can save significant time and effort. With SAMSON’s Job Manager, you can streamline the entire process from start to finish.
What is the Job Manager?
SAMSON’s Job Manager is a powerful feature that helps you manage your cloud-based computations conveniently. Once you launch a job, whether it’s protein modeling using AlphaFold or molecular dynamics with GROMACS, the Job Manager lets you oversee its progress and results. It provides a centralized platform to track, control, and retrieve all cloud computations right within SAMSON’s interface.
How to Access the Job Manager
Opening the Job Manager is straightforward. Simply navigate to Interface > Job Manager within SAMSON. This will give you full access to all current and past jobs you’ve executed in the cloud.
Core Features of the Job Manager
The Job Manager is designed to handle essential tasks that simplify your workflow:
- Launching jobs: Create and execute tasks for SAMSON-compatible extensions that support cloud computing.
- Control over jobs: Start, pause, or stop computations as needed, offering you flexibility in managing resources.
- Monitor progress: View real-time updates on job statuses so you remain informed.
- Retrieve results: Download results directly into SAMSON and analyze them without delays.
Making Job Management Easier
The Job Manager interface also offers additional conveniences, such as:
1. Detailed Job View: Click on a specific job to see details about its name, notes, and other vital information. These details are displayed directly on the right side of the Job Manager window.
2. Context Menu: A handy context menu provides rapid access to your local files, remote files stored in the cloud, or the job’s online view on SAMSON Connect. This menu allows seamless navigation and sharing.
3. Editing and Syncing: You can rename your cloud jobs and update notes directly in the Job Manager. These updates are automatically synced to your SAMSON Connect account for consistency.
4. Download All Files: Quickly retrieve all associated files for any job with a simple double-click. This speeds up analysis and ensures no data is left behind.
