🖥️ UI Client App

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.

Download & Install

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

SIMD-UI_0.1.15_amd64.deb

After downloading, install with:

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.
