+# Optimized 2D stencil code series
+
+This example section takes you through an approach to write a serial stencil
+and scale it to an optimized distributed 2D stencil.
+
+To be able to build this directory, you are required to have
+[HPX](https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx) and
+[NSIMD](https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd) installed.
