Python Development Schemes for Monte Carlo Neutronics on High Performance Computing

We investigate three methods of hardware accleeration on both GPUs and CPUs for a Monte Carlo neutron transport simulation code writen in Python. The accelerating schemes we examine are Pykokks, Numba, and hardware code generating libraries like PyCUDA.
