In order to study the details of such effects with computer simulations, a new set of tools is being developed. In particular, a demonstrator GPU-based particle tracker has been built profiting from the technology provided by the NVRTC Cuda library. Its performances for short term beam dynamic simulations in presence of many macro particles are highly promising. In addition, the Numerical Analysis of Fundamental Frequencies (NAFF) algorithm has been thoroughly inspected. Several alternatives to its fundamental steps have been investigated in a modern C++ implementation. The method was also used to produce Frequency Maps and benchmark these tools with other simulations.
