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

Overview

The Run Manager is a 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 simulation and optimisation jobs in parallel. The Run Manager can be used in two ways:

  1. Cloud - run 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.

Accessing the Run Manager

The Run Manager is accessed via a web browser interface regardless of whether it is installed as a local application or accessed on the cloud. It is optimised for use with Google Chrome.

Cloud Application

For authorised users, the Run Manager Cloud application can be accessed by visiting https://runmanager.ewater.org.au/ via your web browser.

To use the Run Manager Cloud, you must log in. This will occur automatically if you are logged in to eWater's Toolkit in your web browser. If not, you must log in manually using your Toolkit credentials (see Profile).

The Run Manager Cloud Application is currently configured to use Source version 4.7.0.8165 and makes two plugins available:

  • UrbanDeveloper
  • SubSource

Projects saved in a Source version later than 4.7.0.8165, or that require additional plugins, will not run.


Local Application

The process of installing and launching the Run Manager Local application is described in Accessing the Run Manager.

Run Manager Interface

The Run Manager is accessed via a web browser interface (for both the Cloud and Local applications). The Run Manager Toolbar (Figure 1) is located at the top of the browser window and has the following items:
