Legacy documentation. This page covers the previous version of SIMD Network. See the new GPU Orchestration docs for the latest architecture.

The SIMD UI Client provides a visual interface for running worker nodes on the network. It wraps the simd CLI in an intuitive desktop application.

SIMD Worker Node UI

Download & Install

Download the UI Client for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

SIMD-UI_0.1.15_amd64.deb

After downloading, install with:

Terminal
sudo dpkg -i SIMD-UI_0.1.15_amd64.deb

Overview

The UI Client is a desktop application designed for worker node operators who prefer a graphical interface over the command line. It provides real-time visualization of:

  • Connection Status,Visual indicator showing connection to the orchestrator
  • System Status,Real-time checks for SIMD, Python, Docker, NVIDIA-CUDA, and OpenFOAM
  • Network Visualization,Interactive globe showing network activity
  • Logs,Live log output from the worker process

Features

Orchestrator Connection

Enter the orchestrator address (e.g., 34.172.234.124:4001) and click the power button to connect. The status indicator will show:

  • DISCONNECTED,Not connected to orchestrator
  • CONNECTING,Establishing connection
  • CONNECTED,Successfully connected and ready
  • WAITING,Waiting for a job assignment
  • WORKING,Currently executing a job

System Status

The system status panel shows the availability of required components:

  • Simd,SIMD CLI version installed
  • Python,Python runtime version
  • Docker,Docker engine version
  • Nvidia-Cuda,CUDA toolkit availability
  • Openfoam,OpenFOAM simulation software

Live Logs

The logs panel displays real-time output from the worker node, including job assignments, execution progress, and any errors that occur.

Note: The UI Client requires the simd CLI to be installed. See the Quick Start guide for installation instructions.
