	Funding: This work is funded by the DOE/BES Grant No. DE-SC0004585, and by Tech-X Corp. We present recent results of prototyping general-purpose particle tracking on GPUs, discussing our CUDA implementation of transfer maps for single-particle dynamics and collective effects. Our goal being incorporation of the GPU-accelerated tracking into ANL's accelerator code ELEGANT, we used the code's quadrupole and drift-with-LSC elements as test cases. We discuss the use of data-parallel and hardware-assisted approaches (segmented scan and atomic updates) for resolving memory contention issues at the charge deposition stage of algorithms for modeling collective effects.
