Abstract
GAMS Engine SaaS is a cloud-based service that allows users to run GAMS jobs on a scalable and flexible infrastructure, currently provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It was launched in early 2022 and has since attracted a variety of customers who benefit from its features, such as horizontal auto-scaling, instance sizing, zero maintenance, and simplified license handling. GAMS Engine SaaS is especially suitable for workloads that require large amounts of compute power and can be adapted to many different scenarios. In this presentation, we show a case study of a large international consultant agency that uses GAMS Engine SaaS to run Monte-Carlo simulations of a large energy system model in response to varying climate change scenarios. We describe how they leverage the GAMS Engine API to submit and monitor their jobs, how they select the appropriate instance type for each job, and how they can use custom non-GAMS code on Engine SaaS. We also discuss the challenges and benefits of using GAMS Engine SaaS for this type of application, and provide some insights into the future development of the service.
