Managing complex molecular computations in the cloud can be a challenging task for molecular modelers. How do you keep track of runs, access files, and seamlessly sync results with your workflow? SAMSON provides a powerful solution to this issue with its Job Manager. Let's explore how this tool can simplify and streamline your cloud workflows.
What is the Job Manager?
The Job Manager in SAMSON is an interface designed to help you manage cloud-based computational tasks efficiently. Whether you're running protein structure predictions with AlphaFold and NVIDIA BioNeMo, or conducting molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS, the Job Manager allows you to control jobs from start to finish—all directly within SAMSON.
Key Features of the Job Manager
The Job Manager is packed with useful features to enhance your experience:
- Create and execute jobs: You can create jobs using SAMSON extensions that support this functionality. Once created, you have full control to start, pause, or stop jobs in the cloud.
- Monitor progress: The interface provides real-time monitoring of your computations, so you're always in the know about their status.
- Retrieve results efficiently: Results from completed jobs can be downloaded directly into SAMSON, making it easy to integrate them with your ongoing work.
View Job Details
You can view specific details about any job by clicking on it in the Job Manager. Information about the job is displayed on the right side of the interface. Additionally, you can edit job names and notes to keep your workflow organized. These edits are automatically synced with your SAMSON Connect account, ensuring consistency and ease of access across devices.
Seamless File Management
One of the standout features of the Job Manager is its ability to simplify file management. You can:
- Download all job files: Simply double-click on a job, and all associated files will be downloaded to your system.
- Leverage the context menu: The job context menu gives quick access to local files, remote files stored in the cloud, and even the job view on your SAMSON Connect account. This rapid access eliminates guesswork and ensures everything is just a click away.
Sharing Results
Once your cloud jobs are completed, you can share and collaborate on your results through SAMSON Connect. Control who can view or edit your jobs to ensure smooth and secure collaboration with your peers.
