<h2 id="general">General Information</h2>

<!--
  INTRODUCTION

  Edit the general explanatory paragraph below if you want to change
  the pitch.
-->
<p>
The ACENET Summer School in Advanced Research Computing seeks to educate 
researchers in those tools and techniques used in high-performance computing
and scientific computation. Topics will include general parallel computing,
OpenMP, GPGPU, and MPI programming, and machine learning.  
</p>

<!--
  AUDIENCE

  Explain who your audience is.  (In particular, tell readers if the
  workshop is only open to people from a particular institution.
-->
<p id="who">
  <strong>Who:</strong>
  The course is aimed at researchers, both academic and industrial. 
  The background expected is typically that of a graduate student, 
  although both advanced undergraduates and those who have finished (or never been to) graduate school may expect to benefit.
  Participants attending the school must have familiarity with the Unix command line, and some level of programming experience. 
  Participating in the ACENET Basics Series would be a great foundation for the school.
</p>

<!--
  LOCATION

  ETHERPAD

  At `_misc/etherpad.txt` you will find a template for the etherpad.

  Display the Etherpad for the workshop.  You can set this up in
  advance or on the first day; either way, make sure you push changes
  to GitHub after you have its URL.  To create an Etherpad, go to

      http://pad.software-carpentry.org/YYYY-MM-DD-site

  where 'YYYY-MM-DD-site' is the identifier for your workshop,
  e.g., '2015-06-10-esu'.

  SYLLABUS

  Show what topics will be covered.

  1. If your workshop is R rather than Python, remove the comment
     around that section and put a comment around the Python section.
  2. Some workshops will delete SQL.
  3. Please make sure the list of topics is synchronized with what you
     intend to teach.
  4. You may need to move the div's with class="col-md-6" around inside
     the div's with class="row" to balance the multi-column layout.

  This is one of the places where people frequently make mistakes, so
  please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run
