+# Porting GEANT-4 Particle Simulation to GPU
+
+GEANT-4 is a widely-used simulation program used to simulate particle
+interactions. There are currently several members of McMaster's Engineering
+Physics department that use the program, and are being limited by the
+performance of the software. This means that they cannot simulate particle
+interactions that take place over the course of minutes (or even seconds), and
+they also can't simulate large numbers of particles.
+
+Increasing the runtime of the simulation or the number of particles would
+greatly increase the accuracy of their results, allowing the researchers to
+understand the systems they're modeling better. This is especially true when
+modeling complex systems, such as McMaster's nuclear reactor. Depending upon the
+level of success of the project, the solution could potentially benefit groups
+that use GEANT-4 outside of McMaster as well.
