-Programming in HIP
-==================
+Programming AMD GPUs: From CUDA to HIP
+======================================
 
-Hello HIP world!
+Hello HIP world! This repository contains the materials to the HIP introductory course *Programming AMD GPUs: From CUDA to HIP*.
 
-This folder contains examples associated with the HIP presentation. Each folder contains one example and another README.md which describes it.
+Each directory contains an example and a `README.md` describing it in a little more detail. The main purpose of the attached Makefiles is just to better communicate the compilation/hipification commands and as a shortcut to manual typing of the whole commands. Real Makefiles would look differently, and you should rather use CMake anyway. **Do not use hipify tools in any automatic build scripts.**

-The examples are designed for HIP-4.3.1, and when we are refering to "now", we mean November 2021.
+The examples are designed for HIP/ROCm version 4.5.2. It is assumed that the examples are run on a machine with AMD ROCm-supported GPU and that all necessary software is installed (ROCm, HIP, hipSOLVER, AOMP, HIP-CPU). See [this link](https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation_new.html) for ROCm/HIP installation instructions.
