Update Module 1 (from the version used in the 2020 ECP tutorial video recordings)

Slide numbers below apply to the PDF of the legacy 2020 version of Module 1, but the latest built PDF for the most up-to-date version.

Moving the tasks discussed at the 2026-05-26 and 2026-06-09 meetings of the education and working group to this issue. The people mentioned parenthetically at the end of each suggestion below are those who weighed in on the discussion during the WG meetings, mentioned here to help map back to the relevant discussion in the meeting notes as well as highlight potential contributors for the suggested change. The list can be edited, and/or we can create sub-issues as needed.

1. In all tex files replace C++ with C\textt{++} as recommended by the ISO-C++ committee. (Patrick)
2. In all tex files replace magic strings of Kokkos, CUDA, GCC versions, etc. to be consistent across slides using LaTeX macros. @lucbv
3. In the title slide (slide 1/72):
   1. Remove the Sandia acknowledgment from the title slide text and replace it with a disclaimer for people to add their own funding statements in a slide at the end to satisfy their institution's need for acknowledgment. (Christian, Patrick). Applies to KokkosTutorial_01_Introduction.tex, slide 1/72 (as well as all other module title slides). @diehlpk
4. In the first non-title slide (applies to Section_LectureOverview.tex, slide 2/72):
   1. Backport the usage / contributor pie charts from Christian's other presentation to make it more graphical and show use outside the DOE and outside the US. (Christian, Patrick)
   2. List Gordon Bell submissions for credibility. (Patrick)
   3. Show [logos of] primary development team and logos of main contribution organizations. (Christian).
   4. Show in this slide or a subsequent slide show that it is well supported with indications of bug fixes, and other statistics from linux insight for example... (Luc).
   5. Remove compilers; instead explicitiy list architectures and hardware supported and also say standard vendor toolchains supported. (Patrick, Christian).
5. [Rahul finished this in PR #173:] In "Online Resources" slide (applies to Section_LectureOverview.tex, slide 3/72):
   1. Could specify e.g. #kokkos-tutorial Slack channel to not spam #general although there is not as much traffic in #general. (Patrick, Christian, Luc)
   2. Add link to built binary PDFs no longer part of https://github.com/kokkos/kokkos-tutorials/. (Pariksheet)
   3. Remove "whitelist domains" because we can't [do that anymore]. If you know somebody on the Slack, you can ask them to send you the invite; you don't need to go through us [Slack administrators]. (Christian)
6. In "Lecture Series Outline" slide (applies to Section_LectureOverview.tex, slide 4/72):
   1. In Module 5, replace "Tasking" with "Graphs"; we don't have "Tasking" anymore. (Christian)
7. In "What to Expect" slide (applies to Section_LectureOverview.tex, slide 5/72):
   1. Remove the last line on "Exercises will be talked through at next meeting"; have a separate recording [of the exercise solutions] and link to the main [tutorials] page. (Christian)
8. [Patrick working on this:] In "The HPC Hardware Landscape" (applies to SectionWhatIsKokkos.tex, slide 8/72): @diehlpk
   1. Update photos with third generation machines at Juelich, LUMI, Japan, France, CSCS Swiss National Supercomputing Centre. (Luc, Patrick, Christian)
   2. Update captions with OpenACC, SYCL, etc.
9. [Pariksheet submitted PR #180] In "Cost of Coding" (applies to SectionWhatIsKokkos.tex, slide 9/72):
   1. Citations / industry reports supporting cost estimates, perhaps including how AI changes the picture. (Pariksheet, Christian)
10. In "What is Kokkos" (applies to SectionWhatIsKokkos.tex, slide 10,70/72):
    1. [Patrick working on this:] Change "Hundreds of users at many large institutions" to "Thousands of users at hundreds of institutions". Also use the pie chart from HPSF. (Patrick, Christian)
    2. Compare Kokkos to OpenACC, etc. in a table and the vendor toolkit issues between the two approaches. (Pariksheet)
    3. Justify use of C++ e.g. compare to C, Fortran, Python. (Pariksheet)
    4. Address perceptions of complexity of C++. (Pariksheet)
11. In "Concepts: Patterns, Policies, and Bodies" (applies to Section_Kokkos.tex, slide 24/72):
    1. Mention the general C++ features we will be using in the "Concepts for Data Parallelism" slide of both lambdas and templates along with resources where they can brush up / learn more about those outside of the short review in this module. (Patrick, Christian)
12. In "Problem: memory access pattern" (Applies to Section_Kokkos.tex, slides 28–29/72?):
    1. Maybe move [memory] access patterns elsewhere? (Christian) Keep for now and do after SC
13. In "Data parallel patterns" (slide 30/72):
    1. Mention what C++ features Kokkos uses; opportunity to check with learners about their knowledge of the C++ feature otherwise explain on the whiteboard or quick concept review slides. Having a slide on templates and lambdas would be super helpful. (Patrick)
14. [Pariksheet submitted PR #174:] In slides after "Using Kokkos for data parallel patterns (2)" (applies to Section_DataParallelPatterns.tex, slides 33–39/72):
    1. After explaining what a functor is, explain a little about general C++ lambda syntax (e.g. = by value and & by reference) to help understand how they are used in functors; would help students unfamiliar with C++ lambdas thinking they are Kokkos specific. (Patrick)
15. [Rahul working on this:] In "Amdahl’s Law (2)" (slides 46,52/72):
    1. Update to more relevant GPU and OpenMP CPU targets. Nvidia Pascal, Intel Haswell, and Intel Phi Knight's Landing (KNL) are not relevant these days. Consider GPUs other than Nvidia. (Luc, Patrick).
    2. Document how the graphs were generated for reproducibility, either in a LaTeX comment in the source code or more visibly on the slide. (Pariksheet, Luc)
16. In "Recurring Exercise: Inner Product" (slides 48–50/72):
    1. Every math textbook would name the matrix dimensions in the slide as M×N. M should the the number of column and N the number of rows. But this needs to be done consistently across slides and code examples. (Luc)
17. In "Exercise # 1: Inner Product, Flat Parallelism on the CPU" (slides 49/72):
    1. This slide seems to contain the lambda to functor explanation, but appears inadequate. (Luc)
18. In "Exercise # 1: Going beyond" (slides 51,58,67/72):
    1. Don't show an example older GPU that doesn't actually work with the current CUDA. (Christian) @diehlpk
19. In "Building Applications with Kokkos" (slides 54–68/72):
    1. Ping the build and packaging working group about how to update the state of packaging. (Luc)
    2. [Luc working on this:] Update the build and packaging slides as needed. (Luc)
    3. Ask Christian if it still makes sense to keep this section of the tutorial; may be better addressed in the documentation. Building from source should be a documentation page instead of on slides; slides could point to documentation. (Luc, Pariksheet) After SC
    4. Like the C++ prerequisite concepts section header, may want to state the assumed knowledge about CMakeLists.txt. (Pariksheet) After SC
    5. Update to better reflect the state of spack. (Luc, Pariksheet) After SC
    6. GPU slides favor CUDA; maybe we could allow flexibility to tailor slides ot HIP, etc.? (Pariksheet, Luc) After SC
    7. [Rahul working on this:] Is it still reasonable to have a requirement on Kokkos 4.2 in the CMakeLists.txt excerpt? Could replace with X.Y? Point to the minimum supported hardware in the documentation. Also use consistent minimum versions of Kokkos in different slides.
20. In "Embedded Kokkos" (slide 60/73 -- note this is only in the new slide deck, not the original)
    1. In "Option 2: via FetchContent" update the hash. (Luc, Pariksheet) After SC
21. In "Module 2: Outlook" (slide 72/72):
    1. Remove the hard-coded date in the slide title. (Pariksheet)

Change log:

Start by comparing the legacy and latest Module 1 PDFs, then read Content/Presentations/modularized/KokkosTutorial_01_Introduction.tex and the referenced section files, including Section_LectureOverview.tex, Section_WhatIsKokkos.tex, Section_DataParallelPatterns.tex, and Section_Kokkos.tex. The issue covers many independent slide updates; done means the selected unchecked items are reflected consistently in the source and the rebuilt Module 1 presentation.
