🚀 Quick Start

Get up and running with SIMD Network in minutes. This guide will walk you through installing the CLI, understanding the architecture, and connecting your first nodes.

Overview

SIMD Network uses a distributed architecture with two main components:

                    ┌─────────────────┐
                    │   Orchestrator  │
                    │  ─────────────  │
                    │  • Job Queue    │
                    │  • Scheduler    │
                    │  • Results      │
                    └────────┬────────┘
                             │
              ┌──────────────┼──────────────┐
              │              │              │
              ▼              ▼              ▼
     ┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────┐
     │  Worker 1   │  │  Worker 2   │  │  Worker N   │
     │  (GPU: T4)  │  │ (GPU: A100) │  │  (CPU only) │
     └─────────────┘  └─────────────┘  └─────────────┘

• Orchestrator — Central coordination node that manages job queues, schedules work, and aggregates results
• Worker Nodes — GPU/CPU nodes that execute CFD simulation jobs assigned by the orchestrator

Installation

Install the SIMD CLI using the official installer script:

curl -sSf https://sh.simd.space | sh

Verify Installation

After installation, verify that the CLI is working correctly:

simd --version
# simd 0.1.14

simd --help

Expected output:
