Cloud computations
SAMSON provides a possibility to launch some types of calculations in the cloud, e.g., protein structure prediction using AlphaFold and NVIDIA BioNeMo Services, or molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS.
Note
Performing calculations in the cloud in SAMSON requires Computing Credits.
Refer friends and colleagues to the SAMSON Cloud Services to earn free Computing Credits.
Job Manager#
You can manage the jobs launched in the Cloud using the Job manager. To open the Job manager, click on Interface > Job manager (1).
- , : Ctrl+6, : Cmd+6
The Job manager lets you:
- Create jobs from SAMSON for extensions that provide such functionality.
- Execute jobs in the cloud (start, pause, stop) and monitor them.
- Get results back into SAMSON.
To view the job details click on a job and they will be shown on the right side of the Job Manager.
You can edit the job name and notes - they will be automatically synced with your SAMSON Connect Account:
You can download all job files by double-clicking the job:
A job Context menu now gives you rapid access to local files (the ones that have already been downloaded), remote files (the ones stored in the cloud), as well as the job view on SAMSON Connect (see: Collaboration - Viewing and sharing jobs on SAMSON Connect).
Note
See an example on how to launch Jobs in the cloud: GROMACS Wizard - Computing in the cloud
Viewing and sharing jobs on SAMSON Connect#
The jobs you run in the cloud from SAMSON (e.g., using AlphaFold, NVIDIA BioNeMo services, GROMACS, etc.) are accessible from SAMSON Connect, and you can control who has access to them.
