8 years ago @omsai, the following need to work their way in to the existing outline:
The audience will be expected to bring a bring a laptop computer with wireless or wired internet for cluster SSH access.
Unlike the "Parallel Computing 101" tutorial that has been offered at Supercomputing for the past few years, this tutorial is directed at outreach; of bringing inexperienced users into the HPC community. The scope of the workflow is intentionally limited to focus on foundational concepts and respond to common interests of new users.
The "Best Practices for HPC Training" tutorial, where trainers are invited to present their teaching experience, is an excellent complementary tutorial. Our hope is our proposed tutorial would not overlap on the schedule to allow conference attendees to visit both tutorials.

In the description I've noted what we were interested in teaching for the second half of the workshop, although an equivalent translation into the detailed outline is missing. It would be wonderful if more experienced instructors to detail what exactly should be taught during the second half with exercises, given the constraint that we do not expect our attendees to have programming experience.
