Info

The Run Manager is not currently available to the general eWater community.

Overview

The Run Manager is a tool to help collaboration between Melbourne Water and eWater and is designed to enable Source users to harness the power of distributed/cloud computing to tackle large simulations and multi-objective optimisation problems. The Run Manager allows users to configure and execute multiple Source model runs simulation and optimisation jobs in parallel. The Run Manager can be used in two ways:

  1. Cloud - summary TBALocal - summary TBArun on Amazon Web Services (AWS) via a service hosted by eWater
  2. Local - installed and run on your local PC - which is useful for testing jobs before launching on the cloud, and also for scheduling multiple Source jobs on your local PC

A third 'Cluster' mode is planned in the future to allow the Run Manager to be installed on a local network to utilise multiple personal computers.
