+# Introduction to Parallelisation on HPC platforms
 
-Novice introduction to high performance computing. This material was conceived as a sandbox project for [swcarpentry/hpc-novice](https://github.com/psteinb/hpc-in-a-day). Parts of it will be contributed to [swcarpentry/hpc-novice](https://github.com/psteinb/hpc-in-a-day) in due course.
+Novice introduction to parallelisation with high performance computing. This material was conceived as a sandbox project for [hpc-carpentry](https://hpc-carpentry.org). This work derives from [hpc-in-a-day](https://github.com/psteinb/hpc-in-a-day) but will not be kept in sync.

 ## Audience
 
-The material as such targets future users of a HPC infrastructure of any discipline. The learners are expected to have an introductory level of programming skills and should know their way around the UNIX command line on a beginners level as well.
+The material targets future users of a HPC infrastructure of any discipline. The learners are expected to have an introductory level of programming skills. Learners are expected to know how to submit a batch job on a HPC cluster. Further, knowledge on how to write functions in python are required. Basic `numpy` array commands are beneficial but not required to follow the course.
 
 ## Scheduler
 
-hpc-in-a-day is scheduler agnostic. Currently, it supports LSF and SLURM. The job scheduler type can be set with the `workshop_scheduler` variable in [_config.yaml](https://github.com/psteinb/hpc-in-a-day/blob/711cf3f309a04d4a6e955e39c701444733194fed/_config.yml#L40).

 # How to build
 
 ## Dependencies
 
 The material is based on the [software carpentry lesson template](https://github.com/swcarpentry/styles). It hence depends on a fairly recent version of [jekyll](jekyllrb.org). Just give building it with `make site` in the root directory a try. If you find any problems, please open an issue.
+
+## local tests
+
+To test the material locally, open a terminal and type:
+
+```
+$ make serve
+# ...
+    Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000
+  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.
+```
+
+Once you see the above, open a web browser on the same machine and copy \& paste `http://127.0.0.1:4000` in the URL address field. Load this page and you should see a local version of the material display. Exit the rendering as prompted by pressing `ctrl-c`.
