I'm currently putting together an Introduction to OpenMP Offload slide deck using the new EPCC presentation template.
Slides are based on the L08-offload presentation from the Advanced OpenMP course. Have converted the first 8 slides, another 14 to go.

After this will integrate material from Ludovic Capelli's summer school slides.
