This short clip picks up a Fuzzball demo running in AWS. A pre-baked container carrying a virtual desktop and the Smokeview visualization tool launches as a Fuzzball job, and the presenter opens a terminal inside that desktop with access to the data produced by an earlier simulation job. Loading the results shows a modeled couch, then the smoke from the fire simulation itself.
The example is one of the suggested proof-of-concept workflows for confirming that FDS, the Fire Dynamics Simulator, is running correctly. Viewers see how a visualization step can follow a compute step in Fuzzball, with results carried between jobs, all in the cloud.
Key takeaways
- Fuzzball runs a pre-built container with a virtual desktop and Smokeview as a cloud job on AWS.
- The desktop job has direct access to data analyzed by the previous simulation job in the workflow.
- The couch fire visualization is a suggested proof-of-concept workflow for verifying that FDS runs correctly.
Questions this video answers
Can Fuzzball run a graphical desktop for visualizing simulation results in the cloud?
Yes. In this clip a Fuzzball job on AWS runs a container that includes a virtual desktop and Smokeview. The presenter opens a terminal in that desktop, reaches the data from an earlier simulation job, and renders the burning couch and its smoke interactively.

And in this one, we're running um you know, a pre-baked uh container that has within it a virtual desktop. And it also has something called smoke view within this job up in the cloud in AWS. And it's giving me this little desktop. And I've got this terminal that I've opened up. and I've got access to the data that was analyzed in the previous job. Once I do that, I can see this little couch and that's pretty cool. But what's really cool, let me go ahead and add to it um some of the simulation. So that's smoke. This is one of the like proof of concept uh one of the suggested proof of concept workflows uh for for making sure that FDS is actually running appropriately.
